Future Orange
The initial community consultation phase of FutureOrange has now ended. Thank you for all you contributions.
These contributions are now being assembled into a draft report.
In due course, Orange residents will be able to read the draft report and provide any further feed-back.
Orange City Council is beginning a wide-ranging conversation with the community, a key element of planning for our city's next ten years.
In the months surrounding our next council election, we're developing a Community Strategic Plan (CSP), a blue-print that will guide everything the Council does.
In this first online phase of the conversation, using YourSay Orange we're interested to find out:
- What do you love about Orange now?
- How could it be better and what would you change?
- What would you like Orange to be like in ten year’s time?
Here you can share your ideas by:
- placing pins on a map of Orange to show the locations that matter to you.
- share your bright ideas and vote for the best ideas of other people
- find out more about where this community conversation goes from here.
You can also:
- find out when face-to-face opportunities will happen.
- learn about the timeline for this project
- read about the last CSP community conversation
The deadline for this phase of community contributions is Sunday 6 March, 2022.

Fenced Playgrounds
While we have an amazing choice of playgrounds in Orange, they also bring a lot of anxiety for parents. We have no fenced playgrounds, which can be really challenging when you are supervising more than one child. It's even more challenging when you have a child with additional needs with the potential to run off without warning can be a very daunting prospect for a parent. There are some beautiful parks across the state that have managed to blend the fencing into the environment without becoming an eyesore. An inclusive play area requires security measures like fences in place.

Encourage Orange's reputation as regional NSW's cultural heart
What sets Orange apart from other regional cities is a certain sophistication and a passion for all things cultural - theatre, music, arts and crafts, food, wine - invest in and promote these even more, and attract those that values these qualities to our region.

Expand population, water supply and green spaces concurrently
Population growth will make us a stronger economic force in NSW. Increase water storage capacity and green spaces in equal measure as we grow, to balance out any negative impacts.
