NAB Statement on Walgett

Hi everyone, I just wanted to update everyone on the status of the NAB in Walgett, while things have been a little quiet of late, I'm happy to announce that after several conversations I have received the following statement from Chris Venus on behalf of the NAB: ++++++ “As we advised in April, NAB committed to considering alternative banking options in Walgett. NAB has entered a new lease with the landlord of our existing NAB Walgett branch. “The landlord has committed to addressing the structural concerns with the building through repairs. “The lease is conditional on the repairs being independently assessed by engineers as safe. “We’re pleased with this development by the landlord to repair the site to satisfy the safety standards required for our customers and people.” +++++++ Based upon my conversations with Chris and the above statement it looks like Walgett, due to your collective efforts and those of some dedicated locals, may be able to retain the banking services of the NAB in the future. Thank you once again for your support, maintaining basic banking services in Walgett will mean a lot to our community. Kindest regards, Bill. Walgett Councillor.
