Date Time Explainer: Changes floated for Lords Place Byng St roundabout Orange City Council’s Future City plan aims to encourage people to spend more time living and working in the central business district by making it more ‘walkable’. To make this goal a reality, pedestrian safety has been a key consideration of the plan every step of the way. One of the main strategies in Stage 1 of the project is to better connect the Civic Precinct with Robertson Park.

However, a main obstacle in achieving this is the four lanes of traffic pedestrians have to cross at the Byng Street and Lords Place roundabout.
