With nominations now open for the 2019 awards, City of Casey Mayor Cr Geoff Ablett encouraged residents to think about the individuals and groups that they believe are worthy of recognition for all that they do.

“Casey is lucky to have many residents and groups who go above and beyond in their contribution to our community, and the Casey Australia Day Awards provide a platform to celebrate them and show our appreciation.
“We need your help to shine the spotlight on the amazing people in our community who help make Casey such a wonderful place to live by submitting a nomination.”
