Council to watch unfolding amalgamation issue closely

Orange Mayor John Davis has responded to today’s statement from NSW National leader John Barilaro, which vows to ‘bring an end to local government mergers in the bush’.

“Orange City Council has always been neutral about the proposed amalgamations,” Cr John Davis said.

“We’ve always been willing to work with government policy in this area, and to work co-operatively and constructively with whatever the government decides.”

“Orange City Council will be keeping a close eye on this issue in the coming days as the government makes progress towards electing a new leader.”
