Walk and Ride Orange
Consultation has concluded
Shaped by expert consultants and the results of a community survey, the plan aims to help make Orange a walking and bicycle-friendly community.
The plan, which includes a number of recommendations to guide future development, was on public exhibition for community comment.
That period for comment has now ended, but this site remains active as a source of information and engagement about the latest developments.
After considering community comments, Orange City Council adopted the plan.

Regional Cycling Routes
Consultants , GHD have been engaged by the Roads and Maritime Services to undertake a Cycle Route Safety Review for regional roads around Blayney which include routes in and around Orange.
The review will look at the specific conditions that apply on these routes due to the larger frequency of use by cyclists.
This map is a plan of the routes that GHD has been engaged to review.
With input from the local cycling community GHD is aiming to prepare a much better report and identify routes and areas of concern. Hopefully worthwhile projects and improvements will result from the report.
