Clarence River Way

This online discussion forum has concluded. You can still browse the site but the discussion area will no longer accept new comments or votes.

The Clarence Valley is on the move - and Clarence River Way is a key component of what will fuel the region's economic growth. Council, agencies and stakeholders have developed a destination development masterplan to direct resourcing and investment over the next 10 years. An intervention of this scope and scale is rare, represents a new era in destination development within the state and demonstrates a level of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit not seen the Valley previously. The Masterplan is currently on public exhibition.

River Access - there are many parcels of Crown Land that front the river. See the Clarence River Foreshore Reserves document. It was prepared by the Grafton Lands office in the late 80's. read more …

Abandon touring routes

Comments

The Valley is not suited to the continued development of tourist drives. We need to simplify the plethora of current options to instead focus on the idea of marketing the Clarence as a single touring region.
