Dungog Shire Council Media Release
The Hunter Regional Plan has earmarked Clarence Town for future growth! As a result, The Dungog Shire Council has secured a $170,000 grant from the NSW Regional Housing Strategic Planning Fund to develop a Structural Plan for Clarence Town and surrounds.
This will establish a framework for development, facilitating future growth by identifying residential, retail and employment land development, as well as improving public spaces and transport networks. The plan also seeks to enhance the town centre’s accessibility, identity and overall appeal. Council will engage with the community, businesses, State govn. and relevant stakeholders, providing opportunities for residents to input and shape the future of the town. Council also received $76,000 from the NSW Govn. to conduct a Flood Study review to ensure flooding risk of any future development zone is reduced.
In addition, council has been advocating for better roads & infrastructure, and the NSW Govn. is working towards matching the funding provided by the Federal Govn. so we can proceed with the new Clarence Town Bridge.
