As I said at the forum, the night was designed to provide our Board with a list of projects or issues for which the Bank may be able to provide financial
support, so that our community gets the maximum benefit from the Community Bank.
The input from the room was prolific and invaluable and whilst there were a large number of disparate suggestions, there were also several important
common themes which emerged and obviously, these will be reviewed as a priority. I feel sure that these were not lost on the Council representatives
in attendance either.
As you will see from the attached list, there are a number of matters for which the Shire would be responsible, but now it’s up to the Board to
commence its review and start to make things happen.
We know that it will be a challenge, but it’s one that we look forward to meeting.
As promised, I have attached the full list for your information.
Again, The Directors and Staff thank for your attendance and input.
With kind regards,
Glenn Williams
