Last week to comment on council budget
Orange residents have one more week to have their say on Orange City Council’s draft 2017/18 budget.
Orange Mayor John Davis OAM said he is pleased with the number of people who’ve had their say about the budget so far.
“This a very positive budget with extra money for footpaths and the next stages of projects like the Orange to Carcoar pipeline.
"There is also continuing focus on roads and to ensure we have appropriate operational funds for important facilities such as the Aquatic Centre, child care services and water treatment. That why’s it’s good to see residents having their say.”
As well as making formal budget submissions, many residents are having their say using the YourSay Orange website.
In the first three weeks the budget has been up for community comment residents have :
- filled-in 50 online surveys
- left 20 comments in an online guest book
- sent in 11 formal submissions
“This is a good response but I am encouraging residents to take the opportunity in the next few days to have their say,” Cr Davis said.
The deadline for comment is Tuesday 6 June. Formal submissions can be sent to :
council@orange.nsw.gov.au or by visiting yoursay.orange.nsw.gov.au/budget-2017
