Are you interested in helping with our fundraiser? Just an hour if your time is all we ask.

We have big ideas but not a huge amount of people. There is so much to be involved in, from a Youth creative group to Senior Support, Landcare and Community Gardens, Annual events/Music festivals/River festivals, Paddling group, Village beautification, Town signage, Tourism and The Playtpus trail plus more.

This will be so much fun.
Get a team of your workers together or a bunch of friends and let's have some fun.
Lana at Clarence Town Home Hardware is trying to get a team together, so if you are one of her Tradie customers let her know.
Let's get some fun and community spirit back into the town.
Contact this page if interested

Lana also kindly donated us a Weber BBQ for a raffle prize - thank you Lana

Aussie Bird Count started today but it’s not too late to register and get involved. A great activity for the kids and whole family.

The Aussie Bird Count starts TOMORROW! 🦅🦆

We’re excited to come together and count birds across the country.

The Aussie Bird Count is for everyone. No matter who you are or where you are across Australia, there are birds to count. Take 20 minutes out of your day and jump into our easy-to-use app to count the birds around you.

With one in six Australian birds facing extinction, there’s never been a more important time to pay attention to our birds and feel inspired to protect them.

Our Community Hall needs you!

📢 OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU!

Section 355 Committees – Clarence Town

We have just had a community meeting with Dungog Shire Council (DSC) to discuss the important role Section 355 Committees play in our local communities.

These committees are an essential part of keeping our community facilities running, maintained and available for everyone to enjoy.

Here in Clarence Town, we are fortunate to have several Section 355 Committees, including those involved with our School of Arts Hall and local sporting facilities.

Like many volunteer organisations, our committees are facing challenges and we need more community members to get involved!

❤️ These facilities belong to our community, and their future relies on people who are willing to lend a hand, share ideas and contribute where they can.

You don't need to have previous committee experience — just an interest in supporting our town and helping ensure these valuable facilities remain available for future generations.

🙋 Could you spare a little time to make a big difference?

If you think this is something you would like to be involved in, or would simply like to know more, please let us know!

Together, we can help keep Clarence Town's community facilities thriving.

A strong community starts with people who care. ❤️
