City of Casey will support a number of Anzac Day services being held throughout the municipality next week to honour the occasion.
These events are organised by local community groups and proudly supported by Council.
Casey Mayor Cr Amanda Stapledon said Anzac Day was a day many Casey residents observed with services throughout Casey growing every year.
“For our brave and courageous service men and women, we would not be enjoying the freedom that we do today – we owe them so much,” she said.
“I am so encouraged to see so many individuals, families, children and young people, schools, service and community groups paying reverence to those who fought so hard for our freedom and for those who remained to ensure that our families, businesses and industry keep going.”

• Endeavour Hills War Memorial, Heatherton Road, Endeavour Hills – 11am on Wednesday 24 April.
