Welcome to One Community Together

One Community Together is a collective of residents, community groups and organisations in Clarence Plains. We work together on shared goals with, and for, our local community that build on our individual strengths to create positive change together.

Clarence Plains is a sweeping valley on the eastern shore that tracks the Clarence Plains Rivulet to the River Derwent; and is home to the communities of Clarendon Vale, Glebe Hill, Oakdowns and Rokeby.

We have an office at the Grace Centre, 11 Ralph Terrace Rokeby. If you’re a community member and you’d like to drop in and have a chat, call ahead on 0431 995 379 to arrange a time. We’d love to meet you!

“Within the beautiful rolling hills and waters of Clarence Plains lives a diverse and energetic community that is open and connected. It is a place where everyone matters, and community members create their own opportunity.” (Theory of change working group 2022)

Shaping the Plains

Modelled on the “Humans of New York” concept, Shaping the Plains tells stories of people from the suburbs of Rokeby, Clarendon Vale, Oakdowns and Glebe Hill and is highlighting the people and the places that have made an impact on the community as it is today, as well as those that will shape the future. Through the power of image and story, the project captures and shares the faces and experiences of the people of Clarence Plains. Our roving reporters Finn and Reena are telling 24 stories over 12 months.

Some of our Highlights

Over the last few years One Community Together has assisted in, organised and supported multiple events in our community aimed at “Supporting our welcoming, proud, safe and attractive Clarence Plains Community.” These events have ranged from community workshops to discuss issues that concern our neighbourhoods and how we can work together to come up with solutions, all the way through to community celebrations and festivals. We’ve mobilised volunteers to help clean up our streets and parks and have worked with Council on projects that have made our streets and green spaces more attractive and safe. We’re in the process of documenting some of our “Highlights” and you can check them out here on our site. If you’d like to get involved with any of our upcoming projects we’d love to hear from you.
