Previously known as 'The Building' it is proposed to be internally altered to create several rooms and a exercise/rehabilitation area.
A development application on public exhibition before the council said it was seeking to change the use from a bulky goods and office premises, to a medical centre and office premises.
It said several tenants were already signed-up.
It is not physically possible to provide off-street parking spaces.
- DA to Orange City Council
"Confirmed tenants for the medical practice at this stage include physiotherapy and dietetics practices," it said.
"The proposed medical centre will offer consulting rooms and procedure rooms to enable the conduct of a range of complementary medical practices."
A 'land professional' business is among tenants confirmed for the office space area.
"The proposal involves internal changes to the building, including new partitions and amenities, general refurbishment and raising the loading dock to match the floor level of the remainder of the building," the DA advertisement said.
"External changes to the building include conversion of front roller door to a timber, concrete and glazed shopfront; installation of glass blocks to the rear (eastern) elevation, new roof sheeting, ridge capping and box guttering, new roof skylights and a new rear (eastern) fire door."
Two signs advertising the premises would be placed on the front of the building.
The applicant is Health-X Pty Ltd.
NSW Valuer General's records show the building was bought last November for $990,000.
One possible issue will be the provision of parking as there is no room for any on-site parking.
"Due to the existing site and building it is not physically possible to provide off-street parking spaces," it said.
"It is acknowledged council will require payment of a monetary contribution to address the parking shortfall."
However, it said there was on-street parking room which "appears to have serviced the previous land use without unreasonable impact."
The DA said on-street parking would also not impact any residential properties.
