December Update
Dear residents,
At this time of year, I like to reflect on how far we have come and the accomplishments we have collectively made. It has been so rewarding to see the Bay View Community Centre open and a new opportunity created for the community to connect, and the Town continue to flourish and be a remarkable place to live, or visit.
Youth Mural Mentorship
One lucky young Claremont resident aged between 16-25 will have the chance to grow their creative skills and work alongside an experienced mural artist and paint a new public art mural. To learn more and apply visit our website here.
Local Planning Strategy
The Town's previous Local Planning Strategy 'Clearly Claremont' has been superseded by the new Local Planning Strategy approved in October 2024. This will provide the strategic basis for the Town's new Local Planning Scheme and Local Planning Policies.
Flourish
The summer edition of our quarterly magazine is out now. Read about the recent celebration and commemorations in Claremont, a funding program for striving teens, an art experience at Claremont Park and much more. Grab a hard copy or read it online.
Festive Season Closures
Some of our facilities will be closed or impacted by the Christmas break. For the full details visit our website.
Next Ordinary Council Meeting
The first Council meeting for 2025 will be held on Tuesday 4 February. Please visit our website here for more details.
On behalf of the Council and staff, I would like to wish you all a very happy and safe holiday season, wherever you may be spending this time, and I look forward to contributing to another fruitful year for the Town in 2025.
Regards,
Mayor Jock Barker
