Acknowledgement of Country
The City of Clarence pays respect to all First Peoples, including the Mumirimina (mu mee ree mee nah) People of the Oyster Bay Nation whose unceded lands, skies, and waterways we are privileged to conduct our business on.
We pay respect to, and value, the deep knowledge of Elders past and present, and we acknowledge the survival and deep spiritual connection of the Tasmanian Aboriginal People to their Country, a connection which has endured since the beginning of time.

Our focus on community wellbeing is expressed through four interconnected strategic focus areas that guide how City of Clarence will enhance quality of life and long-term prosperity over the next ten years.
