Community Bank Bellarine celebrates quarter-century milestone

COMMUNITY Bank Bellarine has celebrated a quarter-century of supporting the region with stakeholders and supporters gathering for the special milestone.

Hosted at Jack Rabbit Vineyard last week, stories were shared and laughs were heard as organisations and individuals had the chance to reconnect and celebrate efforts made to support the region.

Community Bank Bellarine spokesman Chris Niven said it was a wonderful occasion to reminisce on the various initiatives the bank has done to give the Bellarine a boost over its 25 years of work.

“From long-time customers to community partners, every conversation reminded us of the positive impact that a community bank can have when we all work together,” Mr Niven said.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better setting than the stunning Jack Rabbit Vineyard, with its breathtaking views and warm atmosphere, making it the perfect backdrop for our 25th-anniversary celebration.

“As we look to the future, we are more excited than ever for what’s ahead. Our commitment to serving the Bellarine community remains as strong as ever, and we can’t wait to continue building meaningful relationships and making a positive difference in the years to come.

“Here’s to another 25 years of community, connection, and collaboration!”

Community Bank Bellarine continues to be owned and operated by locals from Bendigo Bank’s Portarlington and Drysdale branches.
