Opportunity for Aboriginal community to work more closely with the wider Casino community

19/Nov/2008

The new Casino community website is also offering online Christmas shopping from selected retailers, encouraging local people to shop in town.

The new Casino community website has been launched this week at www.casino.nsw.au to encourage greater cooperation and act as an all-encompassing voice of the NSW town.

Sponsored by the Buyinbin Aboriginal Corporation, CEO Russell Freeburn sees the website as an opportunity for the aboriginal community to work more closely with the wider Casino community.

“Casino’s Aboriginal population is close to 6% and this community see themselves as belonging to the whole community,” Russell said. “At the moment there is a bit of separation. We hope the website project will help bridge the gap”.

The new Casino community website is also offering online Christmas shopping from selected retailers, encouraging local people to shop in town.

Web Developer and Editor Therese Schier said participating retailers are willing to gift wrap and home deliver gifts ordered online.

“It’s a great way to do your Christmas shopping, you can browse the catalogues in the comfort of your own home and have gifts delivered to your door” said Ms Schier.

The launch of www.casino.nsw.au also means Casino can now promote its famous Beef Week festival to the world and offer locals their own space on the net.
