Our thanks to Grill'd Casey Central for their generous support of our community group in their Local Matters program. We appreciate the support!

Recently, two of the organisations I’m proud to volunteer with, Neighbourhood Watch Casey and the Hampton Park Progress Association Inc, were selected in the Local Matters Jars, each receiving $100 in support.

The top prize of $300 went to the incredibly deserving SES Narre Warren Unit, huge congratulations to them! We couldn’t be more thrilled to see their vital work recognised.

Grill’d continues to show genuine commitment to supporting local communities, and programs like Local Matters make a real difference. If your group is looking to raise funds, I highly recommend applying at Grill'd Casey Central or your local Grill’d, you might be next!

A big thank you to Bundy and the team for backing our community. Your support is truly appreciated! 👏

As part of our ANZAC Day Dawn Service, we are inviting our community to help us honour service, sacrifice, and remembrance through art and personal history.

🎨 ANZAC‑Inspired Artworks
We are proud to be partnering with the Hampton Park Uniting Church Art Group to coordinate a special ANZAC‑inspired art display.

We invite local Casey artists of all ages and experience levels to contribute artworks reflecting the ANZAC spirit.

🖌️ Interested in getting involved? Join the next art group meeting:
📅 Saturday 11 April at 11:00am
📍 Hampton Park Uniting Church, 1 Coral Drive, Hampton Park

📸 Family Service Photos Wanted
We are also calling on Hampton Park and Casey locals to submit photographs of family members who have served in the Australian or New Zealand Armed Forces - including WWI, WWII, and other conflicts.

Photos are welcome of:
• Those who have died
• Those who returned home
• Those who currently serve

These images will be displayed and honoured at the Dawn Service, and we warmly encourage friends and family to attend and join us as we acknowledge each submission together.

📩 To contribute artwork or photographs, please message us for submission details.

This cherished tradition is a time to remember the men and women who have served our nation, those who made the ultimate sacrifice, those who returned, and those who continue to serve today, and to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of them.

Featuring an impressive 190 artworks, this is their biggest exhibition to date firmly cementing their place as the arts capital of Hampton Park. There was also a brilliant youth award in memory of a Reverend Ric Holland, a beloved leader of the congregation.

A severe heatwave is expected over the next few days, with extreme heatwave conditions forecast to be the worst we’ve seen since the Black Summer bushfires.

It won't hurt to give the gardening a miss, or save that long run for another day – stay out of the sun and make a plan to stay cool.

💨 Use air conditioning and fans.

👒 Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat and slide on those shades.

🌡️ Avoid going out during the hottest part of the day.

🚿 Use a wet towel, put your feet in cool water and take cool showers.

💧 Stay hydrated. If your urine is dark, you definitely need more fluids.

⛔ Skip leg day, that Tan Track run, and trimming those bushes – it can wait.
