City of Casey considering bars and clubs

The City of Casey (in Melbourne's south-east) is considering options for its $300 million Main Street redevelopment project, adjacent to Westfield Fountain Gate.

Councillor Lorraine Wreford, chair of Casey's Night Time Entertainment Taskforce, said "the Main Street project will generate some exciting opportunities, but the inclusion of clubs and bars will depend on many factors." She also mentioned the commercial viability of a bar or nightclub would be a major issue for operators.

Ben Clissold, owner of nightlife website MaxMoose, said he had no doubt that bars and pubs would be part of the new development. "There are so many young people from Casey travelling outside the municipality to go out ... people are crying out for more clubs, pubs, bars and dining facilities."
