Mayfield Community Bank project is on the move.

Saturday 12th September.

The fragrance of frying onions and sizzling sausages transformed a quiet Mayfield street corner into a minifestival. Neighbours- some of who had never met each other- came out to have lunch and talk about their ideas of what a community bank could do for Mayfield. 

The Mayfield Community bank steering committee is going to host more BBQs, as well as street stalls and small group presentations over the next few months to explain how the proposed bank will benefit people in Mayfield.

Their goal is to gather as many expressions of interest in the project as quickly as possible. Once these pledges expressions total $800,000 then the project can move one to its next stage. This will be an independent feasibility study. If the study is encouraging, a prospectus can be issued- and from there, opening the doors is not far off.

But we have to get to that level of pledges first. So, make sure you’ve lodged a pledge, and ask your family and friends to. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, or if you’d like us to come and do a presentation to your group.

Mayfield Community Bank neighbourhood BBQ

Are you keen to see a Community Bank started in Mayfield? Just imagine, its possible to have it up and running by this time next year!

Now is the time to help get it started, by lodging your pledge (a non-binding expression of interest).  We need to get to $800K in pledges. We then comission a feasiblity study. If its positive, we issue a prospectus .... and then setup. We're already on our way, in just a few weeks we're already near $100K in pledges.

So this weekend, why not join your fellow residents for a BBQ and find out more. There’s no pressure, no obligation, the BBQ is free- what can you lose?

Hope to see you this Saturday 12th Sept, 11am- 1pm, cnr Gavey and Fitzroy St. Mayfield.

Niko Leka,

Mayfield Community Bank Steering Committee.
