Orange mayor Reg Kidd said when council undertook the Where to Next? consultation earlier this year, a key message was the CBD needed work.
“We got a range of feedback from more parking and more retail options through to better cultural activities, piazzas, malls and market precincts,” Cr Kidd said.
“While improved access, amenity and liveability will be important, we will be focused on ideas and initiatives that support economic growth. This is principally about new jobs and ensuring we have a vibrant CBD for decades to come.”
A community forum will be held at the Council Chamber from 6pm to 8pm on Thursday, August 30, register by emailing council@orange.nsw.gov.au.
The project is based on spending $15 million each year for two years with funding to come from council and grants.
