A group of interested community members was briefed by Bendigo Bank on 9 October 2000 in relation to the proposal to establish Collie Community Bank® Branch and a committee was formed to evaluate the proposal.
A preliminary public meeting was held to discuss the Community Bank® concept and the steps required to establish a Community Bank® Branch of Bendigo Bank at Collie. As a result‚ the committee engaged an independent consultant to conduct a feasibility study in relation to the proposal.
The results of the feasibility study were presented to the committee at a meeting held on 2 April 2001 and it was unanimously voted to proceed towards the establishment of Collie Community Bank® Branch.
The branch was officially opened for business on 5 October 2001
