Digital Business Project

Create a vibrant, online presence for your business with help from Orange City Council and Central NSW Business HQ. Council wants to help all businesses in the central business district (CBD) take advantage of the opportunities online shopping provides. Central NSW Business HQ and Council will work with you to create a functional, modern website, with the option to include facilities to enable you to sell products online. Central NSW Business HQ will also help CBD businesses set up a Google My Business page, making it much easier for customers to find your business.

We’re offering you a free website with;
1. Home page
2. About us page
3. Contact us page
4. Listing of the products or services.

There is also an option to include ‘e-commerce’ facilities allowing your customers to buy directly from your business website. Local website designers, photographers and content writers will help you create your own website that you will be able to update and manage yourself once it’s
established.

This base level of service is provided to you by Orange City Council, at no cost to you. If this sounds like something you think your business could benefit from, please call Council’s Acting Manager Business Development Tony Boland on 02 6393 8250 or email [email protected]

Orange City Council has begun the next stage of its FutureCity upgrade of Orange’s CBD, a bold plan to transform the section of Lords Place, between Summer and Kite Streets, into a place for meeting.

The project will include:

• New plantings of advanced trees which will almost double the number of trees in the block
• New traffic arrangements designed to transform the area into a pedestrian-friendly precinct
• Outdoor dining zones on raised platforms in selected areas along the block
• Improved street lighting
• Expanded gardens with street furniture

The work to deliver this project comes after many months of community consultation. While those phases of community consultation have now concluded you can find out more about the ideas the community shared here and here.

Orange’s new tree cells

The plan to double the number of trees in Lords Place South is about to swing into gear. As well as increasing the numbers of trees, they’ll be planted in tree cells. This video shows why it’s worth the extra effort to use tree cells in high-traffic areas.
