Pay rates in full to win

CASEY Council is offering ratepayers an enticing incentive to pay their rates on time.
The annual rates competition is open to all residents who pay their rates in full by 30 September 2005.
Four entries will each win a sixmonth membership to the Casey Aquatic and Recreation Centre, valued at $462. Two Centro Cranbourne Shopping Centre vouchers worth $250 are also up for grabs.
Mayor Neil Lucas said the competition was a great incentive for residents to pay their rates early.
“We are pleased to be running this competition for the seventh year in a row.
“Last year’s competition saw more than 5800 ratepayers pay their rates in full by the required date,” he said.
Application forms are available on the back of the recently delivered rates brochure.
Return the application with the annual rate payment to the City of Casey, PO Box 5034, Hallam, 3803 by 30 September 2005.
Alternatively, deposit it in the boxes at the City of Casey’s Cranbourne, Narre Warren or Narre Warren South Customer Service Centres.
The draw will take place at the City of Casey’s Narre Warren offices on Tuesday 4 October 2005.
Winners will be notified by mail and the results published in local newspapers.
