Budget 2025
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 draft Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) documents, which include the draft Community Strategic Plan 2025-2035 and the Draft Budget 2025/2026 are now on display for community comment.
Members of the community are invited to complete a survey, leave an online comment or make a formal submission.
Earlier this year, the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) 'Your Community, Your Plan' 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 documents, in a process known as Integrated Planning & Reporting (IP&R).
The CSP's engagement report has since been to Council and the draft CSP is on display for community comment.
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.
