The city includes a rich history, bustling commercial districts, outstanding cultural attractions, nationally recognised educational institutions, and a significant industrial legacy built around its road and river networks.The City of Casey's link with Springfield was established by the former City of Berwick in 1985.
The sister city connection between Casey and Springfield was initially based on commerce with both cities being a manufacturing location for International Harvester. Since then a strong and continually growing relationship has developed. Gifts such as this plaque were regularly swapped between the two municipalities as signs of friendship and it is likely the source of this plaque in the collection.
