Your Community Bank in Action Across the Whitsundays

For the past nine years, your locally owned and operated Community Bank Cannonvale–Proserpine has proudly supported local not-for-profits, sporting clubs and community initiatives – returning more than $264,000 back into the Whitsundays. And we’re only just getting started.

‍

2026 is shaping up to be one of our biggest years yet.

From backing major regional events to supporting grassroots groups and school communities, we’re passionate about investing where it matters most – right here at home. If you’ve seen our fully equipped Community BBQ Trailer firing up at weekend events, you’ve already seen that support in action.

‍

“Our profit-with-purpose model means the more our community banks with us, the more we can reinvest,” says Community Bank Cannonvale–Proserpine Chairman Mark Henry.  

‍

“It’s a cycle of support – when you back us, we back you.”

‍
