The Central West town of Orange was awarded silver and named People’s Choice Winner at the recent 2026 NSW Top Tourism Town Awards.
Orange was recognised in the Top Tourism Town category for towns with a population of 5,000 or more, alongside Ballina, Coffs Harbour, Forbes, Kiama, Moree, Shellharbour and Wollongong.
Orange Mayor, Tony Mileto said the result was a proud moment for the whole community.
“This belongs to the local businesses who got behind the campaign, the tourism operators creating memorable visitor experiences, the hospitality staff welcoming guests, the retailers, growers, makers, accommodation providers and event organisers who help make Orange such a special place to visit,” Mayor Mileto said.
