Council will soon commence a community conversation and engagement on the future of the Casino town centre, including nearby streets and the South Casino shopping precinct.
Over the coming months, we’ll be working with design and planning experts Arcadia, Willowtree Planning, and Jigsaw Planning to create a masterplan that will help shape a vibrant, welcoming, and connected town centre.
The project will look at ideas to:
- Make our streets more attractive, walkable and better connected to the Richmond River, nearby parks and the rail trail
- Celebrate Casino’s Art Deco character and heritage charm
- Encourage more tourism, events, and visitor stays
- Explore new housing options close to the CBD to support local businesses and town vitality through a review of land use controls.
We’d love to hear your ideas, big or small.
Community engagement will kick off in early December 2025, with numerous opportunities to get involved — including stalls at the Casino Christmas Tree Light-Up on Thursday 4 December, and the Lions Farmers Markets on Saturday, 6 December, as well as an online survey and ideas board.
Keep an eye on Council’s website and Facebook page for more details — and share your thoughts on how we can make the heart of Casino an even better place to live, work and visit.
