Clarence Valley Council - Sport, recreation and open space planning
Community Survey

Did you know that Clarence Valley Council and ROSS Planning are developing a new plan to make our sport and recreation facilities and open spaces even better?

These facilities are important as they make our community more liveable and sustainable. They provide us a place to play, socialise and have fun. But they also have a range of other benefits. They can help us stay healthy, boost our economy, and even help the environment. So, Clarence Valley Council is developing a plan to make sure we get the most out of our sports facilities and open spaces.
You can help. We want to know what you love about our open spaces, sport, recreation and aquatic facilities; what’s missing and how we can make them even better. So please take a few minutes to fill out this survey and share your ideas with us. Together, we can make our opportunities better now and into the future. 
The survey is open until close of business Friday 10 October, 2025.
