Major project: Cricket Centre of Excellence
Orange City Council has allocated $2 million in the coming budget for the first regional Cricket Centre of Excellence.
About $750,000 of the $2 million is coming out of council’s general funds with the rest promised by the state government and Cricket NSW.
The Centre of Excellence will be the new base for the existing Cricket NSW development staff.
The project includes two multi-purpose courts for indoor cricket, suitable for netball and futsal, four adjoining high-performance cricket lanes, change rooms, facilities for those with a disability, office space, a kiosk and a multi-purpose room with a viewing area looking over Wade Park.
