Most people in Orange know someone who works or relies on the Cadia gold mine for their business.
It was great to head to site to see some of these people in action.
There has been gold mining in this area in for almost 200 years and it was great to get an update on the site and their plans for the future.

What a fascinating exhibition at Green Timber Technology in Orange today.
This start up is prefabricating houses in the former Electrolux factory to help solve the housing crises, bring jobs to the region and promote manufacturing in regional NSW.
Very excited to follow this company’s journey and see what they can do for Orange and the region.

Job cuts at the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development are far worse than we first thought with 230 staff now told they would no longer have a job.
This is a significant jump from previous claims that 165 roles would have to go.
These are frontline staff at the forefront of protecting and developing our agricultural industries.

What an incredible opportunity to take part in the NSW Legislative Council Regional Roadshow in Orange this week.
The event included a public speaking competition as well as a forum for young people in the Central West to share their concerns with each other and some parliamentarians.
I heard some great issues, concerns but most importantly great ideas from the students present!

Today I met with residents near Orange that are facing the prospect of a solar farm being built right at their boundary fence.
Stories like this are becoming all too common and highlight the gap between the Government's promises about renewable energy and the actual experience of people in regional NSW.
We need to make sure the ongoing roll-out of renewable energy is sensible, and at the bare minimum, that people are properly consultOrange City Council - Wiradjuri CountryuNSW Nationalsonals @nswnationals @nswyoungnatioNSW Legislative Counciluncil @nswparliament @nswfarmers Nsw Farmers @nationalfarNational Party of Australiaralia @youngnationals @the_nationals ...

Scott; we have already been impacted by the preparatory works for solar farm being built on Mitchell Highway. Can we come to you for help if they don't put it right for us? The impact is that we are no longer able to maintain an area we had previously kept maintained due to them leaving it rough and contaminated with rubble and discarded parts in their rough and rushed work that had no regard for us. We've been passed around, as public sector says it's private, and private company says it is public. Thank you for letting us know.
Look how ordinary Wello, my home town is now. Panels and turbines need to be well away from prime agricultural land. In the Orange district, hell no. Cheers Sponge 😎
Fantastic to meet with regional leaders, local experts and my parliamentary colleagues at the Griffith Regional Economic Forum this week.
The key theme was the importance of water and the need for continued regional development.
