Council's 2011-2012 Advocacy Program
Whilst the City of Casey delivers more than 100 services to the community, one of the most fundamental roles of all councils is to advocate on behalf of their communities for the improvements, services and funds they need, where these are the responsibility of the state and federal governments or other third parties.
The City of Casey has affirmed its commitment to advocating on behalf of its residents through the Council Plan, its strategic planning document for the long-term future.
Key Direction 6 of the Council Plan 2009-2013 – Advocating for Casey – focuses on how the City of Casey will promote and campaign to outside agencies in order to secure funding and partnership initiatives for the benefit of the community.
In 2011, Council is focusing its advocacy efforts on a number of key projects that, if successful, will make a significant difference to the quality of life of all Casey residents.
City of Casey is a member of the National Growth Areas Alliance (NGAA) which advocates for the needs of communities in the fast growing outer suburbs of our cities.
