The replica underground mine at the Collie Visitor Centre offers a step back into our community's mining heritage. ⛏️🪏

But, when the audio amplifier in the tour's simulated mine blast broke, the full effect of the main attraction was lost.

Community Bank Collie & Districts was happy to step in and ensure all who experience the tour now have a "blast"! 💥

What is more quintessential country town on a crisp winter morning than perusing the local farmers' market, basket in one hand and a steaming coffee in the other? ☕

The Collie Farmers' Market offers an abundance of fresh and local produce - including fruit and vegetables, farm-fresh eggs, olive oil, and sourdoughs - from its prime location in front of the Bendigo Bank Music Shell in Central Park.

The market is a popular event every second and fourth Saturday morning of the month.

We are proud to have provided a grant of $7800 to Collie Farmers Market to help establish this vital service in our town.

When you bank with us, great things happen in our community. We’re bigger for you.

💫 Magic Moments changes lives.

This is what we've continuously heard from every cohort of young people that we have had the privilege of sponsoring.

Charlie, from this year's group, said the experience has reshaped the way he sees the world.

"A few things that really stuck with me is how to listen and not to judge. I also loved the speech about perspective - you can choose how you look at someone.
"Without Community Bank Collie & Districts' help, I don't think that I would be the changed person that my family has seen."

It's feedback like this that makes us excited for MMF Youth Leadership & Business Summit 2027!

If you're a local student aged between 14-17, keep an eye on our socials for when applications open!

💭 Ever wondered what it is really like to attend a Magic Moments Youth Leadership & Business Summit?

Here's what Matilda, a member of our 2026 cohort, shared following her experience in July.

"I can honestly say it has been one of the most inspiring and life-changing opportunities I have ever experienced. Looking back, I realise the summit wasn't really about business or leadership alone. It was about finding purpose, building meaningful connections, having the courage to be vulnerable, believing in yourself and creating a legacy through the way you treat others. Thank you once again for believing in a young person like me and providing opportunities that genuinely change lives."

Hearing this reminds us exactly why our team is so passionate about investing in our local youth.

💫 When you bank with us, you help make life-changing moments and community grants like this possible.
