Major project: Scout Camp redevelopment
Orange City Council plans to redevelop the Scout Camp near Lake Canobolas to create a hostel style, flexible accommodation precinct.
The $1.8 million project is dependent on government funding, which has not yet been awarded, and the entire project spans about three years.
Council plans to upgrade and expand the existing dormitories as well as build and renovate existing ablutions blocks.
Orange does not currently have hostel style accommodation and students would be the main target users of this site.
The Orange Scouts will continue to use the site.
UPGRADE: The exciting Scout Camp hall.
The period for community consultation on the 2017 Draft Budget has concluded. A report on the community response was considered by staff and presented to the 13 June council meeting which adopted the final budget.
