Budget 2022
The period for community consultation on the 2022 Draft Budget has now concluded. A report on the community response will be presented to Council at a meeting in June 2022.
Orange City Council's annual budget for the 2022/23 financial year is now on display for community comment, along with the new draft Community Strategic Plan (CSP).
Members of the community are invited to complete a survey, leave an online comment or make a formal submission.
Earlier this year, the 'Future Orange' community conversation compiled information about the hopes and dreams of Orange residents for our community.
All Councils across the state are required under the Local Government Act to deliver a range of long term planning and financial management document in a process known as Independent Planning & Reporting (IP&R).
Independent consultants have now produced a draft Community Strategic Plan, a blueprint to guide our community's future.
In this next stage of the conversation, Orange City Council aims to check back with the community. It's important that we're as sure as we can be that what we heard is what you said.
