Building a Better Casey
The Victorian State Election on Saturday 28 November is a critical opportunity for Casey.
As one of Victoria’s fastest‑growing communities, we need state investment that keeps pace with the services and infrastructure our residents rely on every day - like libraries.
Building a Better Casey is Council’s advocacy campaign calling on candidates and political parties to commit to the projects that matter most to our community.
Shaped by community feedback, expert advice and strong partnerships, the campaign focuses on three priorities: better transport and roads, community infrastructure (libraries!), and safe, thriving communities.
