Sporting venues set to benefit from draft budget

Orange’s sporting venues are set to be boosted by spending on a series of projects.

Plans to make a start on the new sporting precinct alongside the Jack Brabham sports fields are a key item in the draft budget for the coming year.

The budget includes $25 million in state government funding over the next two years for the new precinct.

It’s expected the first stage of the project would see work begin next year on an athletics track alongside the planned rectangular sportfield.

A site alongside Forest Road is being proposed for the project.
