From
the 24th May 2007 Casa de Macau Australia became the owner
of a modest stand alone property at Sydenham, Sydney.
After seven years of searching for an appropriate site,
and several unsuccessful attempts, our Casa now has a
place to call our own.
This is an exciting chapter of our Casa’s history
as it will allow us to have a base from which we can continue
to promote our unique culture and heritage with our motto:
“Keeping the Macanese Community Alive”.
The Committee, wish to thank the members who never lost
faith that we would one day achieve our main objective
- cognisant of the mandate set by the providers of the
generous funds from Macau in 1999 for this specific purpose
in fulfilling our commitment and the aspirations of so
many within our Casa and the global family that we belong
to. We are grateful and appreciative of this financial
support for the benefit of our community.
