Sports tourism provides a significant boost to the local economy through the visitor economy and aligns with current Clarence Valley tourism strategic plans, such as The Clarence River Way Masterplan(PDF, 5MB) II and the Tourism Dispersal Strategy.

To ensure sports tourism is a continual component of the local economy and society, Council will make provision in its budget each year to provide hosting fees to selected sporting organisations to attract participatory sporting events to the Clarence Valley.
