As Christmas approaches, with less than a month to go, there is a sense of positivity and hope for an enjoyable 2026.
At Monbulk and District Community Enterprises Limited, we are proud to be a community-owned company operating on a profit-for-purpose model. This means that the revenue generated from customer banking, whether through loans or deposits, is reinvested back into the local community through grants, sponsorships and donations.
Since 2012, Community Bank Monbulk and District has contributed over $1.5 million back to our community and has grown to be one of the largest sources of community funding in Monbulk. An achievement that speaks volumes about the dedication of everyone involved. However, there is always more to be done, and we know that the continued success of our efforts depends on the support of the community banking with us. If you don’t already, we invite you to come along and meet our friendly, caring staff and see how we can help you.
This year, we’re excited to once again be the major sponsor of the Merry Monbulk Christmas Street Party, which will take place on 5 December, a magical evening with free family fun including rides, Santa’s grotto, Elves workshop, donkey rides, face painting and petting zoo, Twilight Christmas Market, brought to you by the Monbulk Produce Market, covering stocking fillers and Christmas gifts, local produce and food.
Be delighted by Christmas carols and songs performed by local school choirs and bands. Continuing the Christmas theme will be local performer Kieran Galloway. We invite you to join us in celebrating the festive season with family, friends and neighbours. Additionally, the Open Door Community Care wishing tree will be available in-branch from early December, where you can select a tag and help a local child in need this Christmas. We are always humbled by the generosity of our community, and I want to thank you in advance for your support.
On behalf of the team at Community Bank Monbulk and District, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May the season bring joy, warmth, and hope to you and your loved ones.
Bec Turpin, Branch Operations Manager
