Cr Kidd has called for the formation of the 'Orange Community Rowing Club.'

He will ask Orange City Council's next meeting on Tuesday night to support a plan to allow public access to the facility.

The town water dam is currently only used by Kinross Wolaroi School for its rowing program.

In Cr Kidd's notice to council he said "experienced international rowing coach" Joe Donnelly had outlined the benefits of opening the dam to the public for rowing to him.

"The original proposal and approval for rowing to be allowed on Spring Creek was so that the people of Orange would have the opportunity to participate in the sport of rowing and one day have the possibility of the Oarsome Foursome coming from within the community of Orange," Mr Donnelly said.

He said plans for Kinross Wolaroi to establish a rowing club open to people outside the school had not eventuated.

"It also means that the school will not accept rowers from other schools, universities nor masters rowers to row on Spring Creek and compete for the Kinross Wolaroi Club from Orange.

"This being the case, it will be impossible for the Oarsome Foursome to ever come from Orange, which was one of the original intentions linked to the approval for Kinross Wolaroi School to row on Spring Creek."

It is also proposed council could be asked to help fund the construction of a public rowing club shed.

A staff report has recommended council talk to the school to see if such a program could be introduced.
