Lake Canobolas
Community Facility of the Year Award
NSW/ACT
Submission Overview
The upgrade of Orange's most popular recreation spot, Lake Canobolas, began in June 2023. The $1.3 million upgrade, funded by the NSW Government, Orange City Council and Cadia Valley Operations, includes ten projects which improve access to the water for all community members. The projects include retaining walls to make the Lake's two beaches more accessible, a wheelchair accessible floating boardwalk, two new accessible amenities blocks and new shade structures. The projects were developed after community engagement around the Lake Canobolas Masterplan.
