Community Bank Malvern East
Michael O’BRIEN (Malvern) (15:37): Last month saw Community Bank Malvern East celebrate its 25th anniversary. That is 25 years of serving my local community when so many of the big banks closed branches and turned their backs on East Malvern. A fantastic celebration dinner was held at Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club. It heard that the bank has returned over $6 million to the local community through grants and sponsorships. Thanks to founding chairman Peter Norman OAM and current general manager Ruth Hall for their vision and dedication, which has made such a great difference to my community.
