Clarence Valley Council was successful in securing funding from the NSW Government’s Phase One Showgrounds Stimulus Program totalling $30,866.00.

Manager of Open Spaces and Facilities, Peter Birch said, “The funds will be used to install roof anchor and ladder access points to various buildings within the Maclean Showground.”

“Modernising and updating the Showground facilities is a win for the community. We have also applied for further works in Phase 2 funding to the value of $417,995.70,” said Mr Birch.

It is expected that Phase 2 funding will be announced later in August.
