City of Casey recognised for national award

The City of Casey has won a national award at the 2025 National Growth Areas Alliance (NGAA) Strategic Foresight and Innovation Awards.

The accolade was announced on Wednesday 26 November at Parliament House in Canberra and was in recognition of its Green Streets in Orana project.

WA’s City of Armadale was a joint winner for its Advocacy Priorities Strategy.

According to the council, the Green Streets in Orana project was designed to achieve more than 30 per cent canopy cover by planting trees.

The project has seen over 2700 trees planted at the Orana Estate.

Casey Mayor Stefan Koomen said the council was proud of this acknowledgement by the NGAA.

“We are proud to be recognised nationally for our Green Streets project,” said the Mayor.

“This goes beyond standard planning and design to deliver streets that are cooler, safer and more inviting for our residents.

“By working closely with our partners and the community, we’ve created a model that not only enhances liveability today, but sets us up for more sustainable development into the future.”
