About Us - The History of BNDCE

The community enterprise originated from the foresight of a group of community minded people who identified the need for a vehicle to drive projects forward in the local district. 

The Bendigo Northern District Community Enterprise is a partnership with Bendigo Bank and Bendigo Community Telco which has been established and will be directed and managed by local people to assist the residents of Bendigo’s northern districts by: 

• Giving the people of our communities the power to make good ideas happen
• Directing money to projects and activities and facilities to support young people, families and the elderly
• Implementing a small grants program to lend support to community organisations
• Actively involving itself in the continued growth and development of the community and to contribute to both the financial and overall well-being of the local district.

The BNDCE district includes the areas from in and around White Hills and Bendigo East and north through Epsom, Ascot, Huntly, Bagshot, Goornong, Raywood and Toolleen.

The goal is to broaden the representation on the board.  We look forward to clubs and groups nominating a member to join our dedicated team.
