&lt;p&gt;Nearly $100m worth of community and recreational facilities for the Clarence!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By 2031 there will be 20,000 more people in the Clarence and we'll all want plenty of facilities and services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A draft Contributions Plan has been prepared outlining how Council hopes to meet these demands over the next 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you're interested in our local services and facilities lets start chatting about it.......&lt;/p&gt;</description>
