Over the years Orange City Council
has completed a number of successful
projects and several more are in
the pipeline. Council has played an
important role in making Orange
an important health centre and
increasing employment opportunities
in the city. Chris Devitt says, “We love
a challenge. We are always looking to
improve the service delivery for our
community and there are plenty of
opportunities todothat.Weget intothat
framework where we are constantly
looking for new opportunities and
success builds on success and
we have been quite successful at
securing additional funding from
the higher levels of government
that help to fund these projects.
“We have been able to build that
reputation over many years to
the extent that not every funding
application is guaranteed a success,
but the rate of success is pretty high
and we have kept building on that.”
