To be sustainable, regional Australia needs infrastructure, opportunities and capital. The key to all three is community desire to make a change and the commitment to see it through. All that is sometimes needed are the right tools. The Bendigo Bank's Community Bank® model worked so well it has extended it to other essential services. In July 2000, it established Bendigo Community Telco™. The Community Enterprise™ model has been so successful it is now being rolled out all over Australia under the guidance of Community Developments Australia. Community Telco Australia™ is the arm of Community Developments Australia that manages telco solutions.
