Council must prepare a State of the Environment Report (SOE) in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993. Information is presented under the following themes:

Ecology, Social, Cultural, Economic and Governance using the State Pressure Response format

• 2009/2010 Supplementary State of the Environment Report
• 2008/2009 Comprehensive State of the Environment Report

Regional State of Environment Report 2012

Clarence Valley Council and the Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (NRCMA) is preparing a Regional State of Environment (SOE) Report for 2012.  Involving 12 Councils, three County Councils from Port Macquarie-Hastings in the south to Tweed in the north, this collaborative report will assess both local and regional environmental state using a set of indicators and measures specifically designed for the region.
