The organisation is open and inclusive to all individuals who live, work, run a business, or own property in the town, provided they are appointed representatives of community groups or relevant stakeholders.

This includes addressing environmental, social, economic, and governance components of resilience. The team initiates and organises events and projects to improve the community and place.

Clara Town Team describes itself as a-political and independent, meaning it does not advocate for or align with political parties or candidates. While it works closely and constructively with government representatives, it operates for the benefit of the whole community rather than for individual or factional advancement. Members commit to operating with integrity, honesty, and respect at all times. The team fosters a can-do culture to support the vision of the Town Centre First Masterplan, aiming to create healthy and vibrant places for people.
