The Town would like to acknowledge the passing of Mr Geoff McClements.
It is with much sadness that the Town acknowledges the passing of esteemed community member, Mr Owen Geoffrey "Geoff" McClements on Tuesday 22 August 2023.
Geoff passed away peacefully at 100 years of age and leaves behind a legacy of remarkable community service and dedication.

In 2016 in recognition of his many years of service, Geoff was awarded the significant achievement of ANZAC of the year.
Geoff was awarded the honour of Freeman of the Town in 2017 as further recognition of his outstanding commitment and contribution to the Claremont community, including his services to the Claremont RSL.

Lest we forget.
