New investment for Casey

CARDINIA and Casey Mayors are looking forward to a new era of business investment with the launch of the Casey Cardinia Region Investment Attraction website and prospectus.
The new website and prospectus are a result of the partnership project between the two councils which is underpinned by a joint ongoing focus to encourage economic development and provide support to businesses, in the region.
City of Casey mayor Amanda Stapledon said there was a total resident workforce of more than 156,000, but almost 70 per cent have to leave the region for work each day.
“This means more time spent in the car battling traffic, and less time at home and with family or friends,” she said.
“It also reduces the benefits to our local economy, if these people are spending the majority of their time and money outside the region.”
Cardinia Shire Council mayor Brett Owen said the framework would help promote the features of the region.
“This includes a growing and skilled workforce, and cost efficient land available at their fingertips, right now,” he said.
The councils plan to work together to encourage a diverse range of businesses to move into the region.
