Council values the contribution of the local Aboriginal community and respects the decisions the organisations representing its members make about participation in local events.

The question was answered by the Mayor.

Thank you for your question. The City of Casey has one of the lowest rates per capita in metropolitan Melbourne. As an organisation we have a focus on continuous improvement and look to identify new ways to deliver customer focussed, quality services that represent value for money. Council will comply with its legislative requirements in regards to the introduction of rate capping in 2016/17 and will continue to seek out efficiencies in service delivery for our community.
