The Clarence Sports Facilities Community Needs Survey has now closed.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond.
We will now review the survey results and incorporate them into the next stage of our development of the Sports Facilities Strategic Plan. There will be a further opportunity to provide feedback early in 2024 when we release a draft Sports Facilities Strategic Plan for community consultation.
