About Us

Welcome to Colorbond-Colours-Bendigo: Your Trusted News Hub

In 2017, we launched Colorbond-Colours-Bendigo with a vision to become the go-to news platform for the vibrant city of Bendigo and its surrounding areas. As we reflect on our journey, we are proud of our growth and the impact we’ve made in the digital landscape.

Our Story

Founded by a team of passionate local journalists and tech enthusiasts, this website was born out of a desire to bridge the information gap that existed for Bendigo residents. We aimed to create a centralized hub where people could access up-to-date news, insightful articles, and engaging content related to their city and its unique colors—a nod to our namesake, Colorbond, which is a popular roofing material locally known for its vibrant colors.

Over the years, we’ve celebrated numerous milestones:

2018: We expanded our team and launched our dedicated opinion section, inviting local voices to share their perspectives.
2019: Colorbond-Colours-Bendigo introduced interactive features, allowing readers to engage with content through polls and quizzes.
2020: During these challenging times, we became a vital resource for the community, providing regular updates on local initiatives and support networks.
2021: We launched our podcast, Bendigo Unfiltered, featuring in-depth conversations with local leaders and influencers.
2022: Celebrating five years of excellence, we introduced a new design, improved search functionality, and expanded our team to enhance user experience.
