Melodies of meaning By Violet Li Casey’s music-based charity The Common People will represent Australia at the world’s largest choir competition this July in New Zealand. The music charity, with more than 100 members, plays international fusion from Eastern classical and Western classical, to rap, acapella and folk songs. Members will sing four songs in the world-level competition, including an Aramaic language song, a Swahili language song, an English song, and an Indian fusion of the Hallelujah Chorus. But while music seems to snatch the spotlight, the group wants to tell a story far beyond music. Story page 10

ment had been beyond the scope of the permits. The council further stated that the development did not respect the neighbourhood character, and it was likely to create amenity impacts and traffic safety issues for residents of the area and users of Lynbrook Boulevard. The court found the amendment application futile and dismissed the hearing. The hearing revealed that the company
repeatedly attempted to create the vehicular crossover in the past decade. The first application was lodged in 2015 and was subsequently withdrawn. Another application was submitted in the same year but was later removed. The company attempted the third time in 2022 and the application was refused by Casey Council. Continued page 3
