The City of Casey’s business awards for 2025 have opened, with Mayor Stefan Koomen encouraging local establishments to put their names forward.
The annual program serves as a celebration of local endeavours, but also passion, resilience and innovation that define the local business landscape in Casey.
“These awards provide the chance to tell your story, celebrate your team and inspire others, while connecting with like-minded local leaders,” Koomen said.
