Achievements

• An initiative from the BNDCE led to the provision of improved banking facilities for Huntly and district with the installation of a new 24 hour Bendigo Bank ATM in Huntly – a positive step forward for the area.
  
  
• Already over 500 people, businesses or organisations have tagged their accounts at Bendigo Bank or shifted their internet services, mobile or home phone to Bendigo Community Telco to demonstrate their support of the Bendigo Northern District Community Enterprise. If you haven’t yet pledged your account with the BNDCE, bring your banking business to to Bendigo Bank’s White Hills branch or transfer your telephone or internet services to Bendigo Community Telco and tell them you would like to support the Bendigo Northern District Community Enterprise. Pledge forms are available at the bank / telco, or at the Huntly General Store & Newsagency. The more pledges from individuals, businesses and organisations we can achieve, the greater will be our revenue to return to the community. This gives people in our district the power to make good ideas happen by directing money into projects and facilities that support young people, families and the elderly and disadvantaged. It will only cost your time!
