You can have your say about any aspect of Orange City Council's 2017 draft budget.

When making suggested changes to the budget, please keep in mind that Orange City Council is committed to returning  a balanced budget. Increasing funding in one area will  result in less funds being available in another.  

While there is currently a budget surplus, this may be impacted by unexpected  extra costs during the coming year.

You can also complete a brief survey on the budget by clicking on the 'Budget 2017 Survey' tab.

A footpath is desperately needed in Dalton St. from Spring St. East to Mathoura Pl. The road is very dangerous with heavy traffic. The nature strip is very rough and uneven to walk on, especially for elderly people. There is a school in Dalton St and many school children use Dalton St. We walk most days and do not feel safe on the road as the nature strip is rough and the grass wet early in the morning, also it would be much easier to walk up the hill if we had a footpath.

There is an urgent need for footpaths going north along Peisley St, from the intersection with Margaret St, along Heatherbrae Pde and a short section of Anson St up to the intersection with Douglas St, in North Orange. There is a pathway from the CWD to Margaret St and a pathway through the residential area from Douglas St to the North Orange shops. However the middle section is missing.The nature strip along the above mentioned area is very uneven, slopped, with holes, tree stumps and driveways of varying quality. As I regularly walk along this street, I have seen women with prams, elderly people with walking frames, joggers and children, walking on the road due to the poor quality of most of the nature strip and the lack of a pathway. A path would benefit all local residents including those going to Bletchington School, Girl Guide Hall, Lutheran Church and those playing at Brendan Sturgeon Oval, as well as those walking to the North Orange shops.

I am appalled to hear that council are considering raising the entry fee to the public pool. I am firmly against this proposition.
