Cr Aziz said a new round of advocacy early in 2017 would make it “imperative for Casey and Cardinia to be looked after”. “People need to start paying attention so that the government receives the message loud and clear and won’t tolerate being neglected.” The council’s long wish-list includes an extension of Cranbourne
