Clarence Valley Council

Clarence Valley Council is a local government area in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia.

Just 3 hours down the road from Brisbane, with a population of 52,000 residents (and growing fast), the Clarence Valley has the perfect climate and a bounty of rural, hinterland, coastal and city lifestyle and business options on offer. The Clarence Valley is a place of outstanding natural beauty and diversity, from lush rainforests to unspoilt beaches and fertile river plains. The Clarence River, more than 380kms in length, is the Valley's living link connecting rural localities and rugged mountain ranges in the west to the City of Grafton, onward to the hinterland villages, historic river towns of Ulmarra and Maclean and the coastal centres of Yamba and Iluka.

The Governor of New South Wales proclaimed Clarence Valley Council on 25 February 2004.
