COMMUNITY & EVENTS PAGE 9 There’s also a desire to retain the rural charm, historic identity and close-knit spirit that supports families, youth and traditions. Next: What do we want to change – what do we want more or less of? Suggestions included reopening a fuel station, upgrading roads, signage, footpaths and transport, plus more parks, services and youth activities. There were calls for local business support and environmental care. And finally...What big new ideas do we want to start? Ideas included better footpaths, trails, public amenities, creative placemaking (like a Big Duck sculpture), festivals, ecotourism, arts and live music, environmental initiatives, sports facilities, housing, health and youth activities. Participants voted with red sticky dots on the Keep, Change, Start lists. Priorities included better footpaths, reopening the fuel station, activating the old police station, and creating an annual town event. There was strong support for river access, wildlife care, creative placemaking and outdoor experiences. In the week leading up to the event, Peter and Steph explored Clarence Town, met locals, visited businesses and shared lunch with seniors. Our school students also ran mini COWs. Ideas included bush care, skatepark upgrades, soccer field seats and plans for the old quarry. Next steps are underway.
