What a morning! 📈☕

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026/27 Economic and Market Outlook with David Robertson, Chief Economist at Bendigo Bank. “Robbo” packed a whole lot of insight (and plenty of humour) into one session. Here are a few of our favourite takeaways 👇

🔹 Rates: The easing cycle is over. Robbo is predicting one more RBA hike by February, to 4.85%, and no cuts on the horizon.
🔹 Inflation: It’s persistent and will take time to come down, but it won’t last forever. Core inflation is expected to sit between 2¾% and 3¾%.
🔹 Jobs: Unemployment is forecast to rise to around 5%, which is still lower than in 2019.
🔹 The AI economy: 2026/27 will be challenging on a few fronts. After that, Robbo expects the AI investment boom to turn into a productivity and growth boom.
🔹 Property: Brisbane dwelling values rose 14.5% in 2025, and Regional QLD rose 12.6%.
🔹 The good news: Even with global pressures, Robbo thinks a recession here looks unlikely, and Australia is expected to keep its AAA rating.

A massive shout-out to Eagle Tavern 🙌 When we had to change venues, your team went above and beyond to fit us in and look after everyone so well. We’re so grateful. Thank you!

💛 And the best part: every cent from ticket sales went to Night Light and together we raised $1,800 on the day! Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket and helped support such an important local cause.

And thanks to everyone who came along, asked great questions and kept the conversation going afterwards. This is what our Logan business community is all about.

What happens when two Community Banks from opposite ends of the country get together? A lot of good ideas, and a lot of shared passion for community.

This week we welcomed our colleagues from Community Bank Seddon in Melbourne’s inner west and showed them some of the incredible social enterprises we’re proud to have in our own backyard.

We visited Substation33 , where e-waste is given a second life and local people gain skills, confidence and real work experience. Then it was off to Kids4Kids Foundation to see the wonderful work they do for local families.

In return, the Seddon team shared their story. Since 2009 they’ve reinvested more than $5.4 million into their community, supporting over 250 local schools, clubs and organisations. Through their Local Impact program, they help get social enterprises off the ground, from a community bike hub to a money mentoring program, creating jobs, skills and volunteering opportunities right across the inner west.

Different cities, same purpose. It was a great reminder that community banking is at its best when we keep learning from each other.

Thank you to the Seddon team for making the trip, and to Substation33 and Kid4Kids for opening your doors.

'Merci' means thank you, and this one came straight from the heart.

When one of our home loan customers hit a tricky patch just before settlement, Tracey from our Springwood branch stepped in to help everything go ahead smoothly. They popped back in to say thanks, and Tracey’s smile says the rest.

Congratulations on the new home, and thank you for the lovely gesture 🧡

🧑‍🎄 Christmas can be a tough time of year for a lot of our local families.
Which is why we love being involved with Formally Ever After Qld Inc. 🧡

Over the last two years, they’ve helped more than 300 families at Christmas with food hampers and gifts, all thanks to the kindness of our community.

This year they’re going even bigger. Formally Ever After is joining forces with Soroptimist International of Beenleigh and the Rotary Club of Loganholme, two incredible community groups working together to bring as much joy as they can this Christmas.

We’re proud to have donated baskets for the hampers to be packed in, along with some items to help fill them. Now they need your help to make every basket something special.

Think about what would make a family feel a little extra loved this Christmas.
Run a donation drive at work, rally your friends and family, or fill a basket yourself. Just remember all food items need to be in date.

If you’d like to drop off donations or make a financial contribution, please send Formally Ever After a message directly and they’ll share the details with you.

Thank you to everyone making Christmas brighter for local families 🎄

🩷 Pink outfits, a little glitter and a whole lot of heart.

Some of our team and customers joined the Go Pink Luncheon at Lionsatspringwood last week, with every dollar raised going to Mater Hospital Foundation.

Thank you to the guest panel, Dr Grace Murphy, Michelle Chapman & Esther White for such inspiring words, and to MC Dan Anstey for a wonderful afternoon.

Proud to stand with our community for such an important cause 🩷🩷🩷
