Help us design the parks at the heart of Landcom and Orange City Council's new 330-home neighbourhood
Landcom is working with Orange City Council to build a new residential neighbourhood that will increase and diversify housing options for this growing regional city.
The project will unlock 25 hectares of Council-owned land at Orange’s eastern entrance to deliver 330+ homes. A mix of housing types including single dwellings, duplexes and town houses will provide people with greater choice and affordability.
As part of this project we'll be creating over five hectares of new open space, across:
- a northern park with a family focus, with space for a 600m² playground for ages 0-12
- a central park with a youth focus, with space for play equipment and sports practise courts
- two pocket parks
- boardwalks and gathering space around a southern wetland.
Thank you for sharing your ideas and feedback as part of our open space design process. We received 41 survey responses, held a pop-up consultation session and a school workshop with students at Canobolas Rural Tech High School.
In response to feedback, we have:
- favoured a hybrid use of natural and synthetic/modern materials
- redesigned the northern and central park away from a distinct 'family' and 'youth' focus to incorporate the needs of all in both parks
- added a flying fox to playground plans.
The development application was placed on exhibition by Orange City Council in August 2025 and is currently being reviewed.
