The City of Casey has unveiled its Draft Long-Term Community Vision 2031, Draft Council Plan 2021-25 and Draft Budget 2021/22, as well as a suite of other strategic documents, which will guide the organisation and enable us to deliver on our community’s priorities and aspirations for our city.

At its Council meeting on Tuesday 18 May 2021, Council endorsed the suite of draft strategic documents for public exhibition. These documents include:

Draft Long-Term Community Vision 2031

Draft Council Plan 2021-25

Draft Annual Action Plan

Draft City of Casey Budget 2021/22

Draft 2021/22 Capital Works Program

Draft 10-year Financial Plan, and

Revenue and Rating Plan

The draft Long-Term Community Vision and Council Plan were developed based on the feedback, thoughts and ideas shared during Council’s largest ever engagement campaign, Shape Your City.

Shape Your City reached more than 6,600 people across various channels, including phone and online surveys, live community forums and hosted conversations.

Insights from this campaign identified five key themes that were consistent across the municipality, that our community stated they would like to see Council prioritise. These themes now form a key element of our draft strategic documents and helped to shape our new vision, which defines the community’s aspirations for the future of Casey.

Our new draft vision is to become a more connected, bold, and resilient community.

The Council Plan brings to life the feedback we received during Shape Your City and sets out how we will work with our community, key stakeholders, community groups, surrounding municipalities and other levels of government to achieve the best outcomes for the City of Casey.

This year’s draft budget totals $569.7 million, with a $421.17 million operational budget and a $148.5 million Capital Works Program (CWP).

Some of the key projects to be completed over the next 12 months include:

$22.5 million to commence Minta Farm early works package (construction of Bells Road from Grices Road to O’Shea Road, including associated intersections)

$17.75 million for the construction of Clyde Recreation Reserve
