Consultation has concluded

Orange City Council has unveiled the next stage of its FutureCity upgrade of Orange’s CBD, a bold plan to transform the section of Lords Place, between Summer and Kite Streets, into a place for meeting.

The project, which could begin as soon as October, will include:

  • New plantings of advanced trees which will almost double the number of trees in the block
  • New traffic arrangements designed to transform the area into a pedestrian-friendly precinct
  • Outdoor dining zones on raised platforms in selected areas along the block
  • Improved street lighting
  • Expanded gardens with street furniture


The Council has started visiting business operators and property owners along the block, to spell out details of the plans and seek their feedback.

The concept plan was considered by a Council meeting on 6 September. That Council meeting decided to put the plans on exhibition for community comment.

A community forum is also planned for Wednesday 21 September (6pm) in the Civic Theatre foyer.

The deadline for this community consultation is 28 September, 2022. A report on the community response will be presented to a Council meeting in October and, if approved, work would begin soon after.

Here you can:

  • find out more about the concept plans for Lords Place South
  • see artist's impressions of how the street will look

And, have your say by:

  • completing a quick online survey
  • leaving an online comment.
