Indelible mark on centre

By NICOLE WILLIAMS

LOCALS have a chance to leave an impression on the Casey Cultural Precinct.
A competition to name the new precinct was launched at the announcement of the design of the new Casey Cultural Precinct on Friday.
The winner will be able to attend the VIP opening and star in a video with comedian Ben Price to announce the name.
Crowds were kept entertained by local dancers, comedian Ben Price and Guy Sebastian at the announcement.
J-Step Dance Crew performers opened the event and were followed by Ben Price who entertained with a number of celebrity impression.
Following the announcement, ARIA-awarding winning singer Guy Sebastian performed his new single, Like a Drum, to screams from the crowd.
“As part of the project, one creative individual, or perhaps an entire school class or sporting club, has the opportunity to make history by suggesting the winning name for the Casey Cultural Precinct,” City of Casey mayor Ablett said.
“The Casey Cultural Precinct will be the place for the community to share in art, culture, entertainment and recreation and we are looking for a name that represents its many purposes and what it means to the community.”
Enter the naming competition online at www.caseyculturalprecinct.com.au or by submitting a hardcopy entry form available from City of Casey offices in Narre Warren, Narre Warren South or Cranbourne.
The competition closes 5pm, Friday 14 March and the winning name will be announced in April.
