Clarence Town Progress Association
It’s been a busy and productive start to the year for the Clarence Town Progress Association (CTPA), and we are pleased to share several updates regarding our latest local community projects.
We’ve been working closely with Council to relocate the off-leash dog area from the Village Green over to Wharf Reserve, just across the creek. It was widely agreed that the current location is simply incompatible with the children’s playground and the outdoor gym facilities. Council is currently sourcing new signage, which will be installed on-site very shortly.
In more good news for pedestrians and walkers, Council has confirmed that the footpath “missing link” located between the Bowling Club and Senior Citizens on Prince Street is officially included in their 2026/7 works programme.
Additionally, the CTPA is funding new footpaths around the Rotunda on the Village Green and a further extension into Wharf Reserve. This important work will commence shortly.
The 1st Clarence Town Scouts will also receive funding from us for new flags. This ensures our local youth can present an up-to-date, consistent, and modern image at community events, parades, and various Scouting activities.
Finally, at our March meeting, Anne Higgins outlined the wonderful progress of Dungog Early Literacy and the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. This initiative aims to give every child in the Shire a monthly book from birth until school. Since Clarence Town has the largest number of eligible children, we will be proudly supporting them for the next five years.
To get involved, contact Anne Higgins on 0403 029 181.
