Orange to host first regional public hearing

ORANGE will host the first regional public hearing of the Select Committee on Regional Development and Decentralisation. 

The Chair of the Committee, Dr John McVeigh MP said, “the Committee is looking forward to kicking off our public hearing program in Orange.  This will be the first of a series of public hearings we will hold around the country.  The Committee wants to engage with regional and rural towns about the issues affecting them, and to learn more about best practice for the development of sustainable and engaged regional communities.”
