Alternative plans for a rain affected Australia Day in Orange
If wet weather intervenes tomorrow, the Cook Park Australia Day Celebration will be moved to the North Court and Forecourt areas near the Library and Gallery at the Civic Centre.
Where possible all ceremonies, activities, entertainment and stalls will be relocated to the Civic Centre.
A call on the location will be made at 6am tomorrow.
In the 31 years of the event in Orange it is yet to be washed out and it will be disappointing if the day can not proceed at Cook Park.
However, with more than 80 per cent chance of rain predicted (heavy) between 6am and noon tomorrow there is a need for a contingency plan.
Council and the Australia Day Committee is liaising with stakeholders providing advice on the contingency.
