Casey Residents & Ratepayers Association (CRRA) has announced its 2025–26 executive committee following its 2025 Annual General Meeting.
Longtime local resident Alan Murphy has been elected as president, succeeding Brian Oates, who led the association through a year of active advocacy on key local issues. Continuing in their respective roles are Anthony Tassone (vice president), Andrew Goldsworthy (secretary), and Helen Horvath (treasurer).
“In my capacity as the newly elected President of the CRRA, I would like to firstly thank Brian Oates, the outgoing president of the CRRA, for his contribution over the preceding year,” Mr Murphy said.
“I also congratulate Anthony Tassone, Andrew Goldsworthy and Helen Horvath on their re-election as vice president, secretary and treasurer.
“I acknowledge the exceptional contribution made by these three, and all members, and look forward to working with them, and all association members in the forthcoming year to advocate for the residents and ratepayers of the City of Casey.
“2026 looks like shaping up to be an exciting and productive year, with new projects and ideas planned that will not only enhance the presence of the CRRA but give residents of Casey an even stronger and louder voice.”
Outgoing president Mr Oates said it had been a privilege to serve as president over the past year.
“The CRRA has been a consistent and credible voice for residents, from our submissions to the Casey Local Law review, our strong opposition to the proposed waste transfer station in Hampton Park near residential homes, and our calls for accountability following IBAC’s Operation Sandon and alleged corruption amongst previous Casey councillors,” he said.
“These are all issues that go to the heart of transparency, community safety and trust in local government, and I am proud of what we have achieved together.”
