Consultation has concluded

Under the current Orange City Council resolution, once the current construction phase is complete (stage 4), the entire stretch of road from the Mitchell Highway, all the way through to Pinnacle Road will be renamed 'Southern Feeder Road'.

In late 2023, a consultation session was held with residents that was attended by people that live on or near the current Southern Feeder Road construction stage, concerns were raised around the name of the route.

There was support for Council staff to revisit the matter and ask the community what name they would prefer.
