While the formal period of community consultation about the big-picture Future City plans has now ended, a range of detailed consultation is continuing about individual projects. The information on this site is being left in place to provide general information to the Orange community.
Begun in a bold attempt to re-vitalise Orange’s central Business district, the Future City project has evolved to take up a broader opportunity to encourage more people to come to Orange CBD and spend more time there, to build a CBD the people of Orange can be proud of.
The Future City project is also about supporting current businesses and creating a CBD which will attract new investment.
In this YourSay Orange site you can find out more about this project, and have your say.
After months of work by urban designers SJB, in consultation with members of the Orange community, Orange City Council has put their collection of plans up for community comment.
It’s a huge plan, full of many bright and bold ideas.
At this stage, nothing is being ruled-in or ruled-out. Some suggestions could happen quickly. Others would need government funding and might take many years.
Now is the time for the Orange community to have a say.

Please use the Western end of the old hospital block on Sale St as green space for all the workers of Dept Industries and all of us who live in the vicinity. Thanks.
Future City Plan - Section 10.1 The Institutional Precinct
As a resident of Sale Street I encourage that consideration be given to limiting the amount of medium density residential development immediately west of the new DPIE building, and rather create as much park space as possible (include modern art) to not only service nearby institutions but also residents in the locality (as there is limited green space otherwise).
