Ms Moppett replaces former RADO Nina O’Brien who has taken up a position as Project Officer with South West Arts.

Chair of Orana Arts, Aileen Bell, said, "We’re pleased to have such a skilled professional as Ms Moppett in the key role of RADO for Orana Arts. There are often difficulties luring skilled arts workers to the bush, and we consider ourselves very fortunate to be working with Ms Moppett."
“Orana Arts can look forward to an exciting year ahead, working closely with arts and community groups towards developing more vibrant and sustainable communities in the region."
In her role as RADO, Ms Moppett will be working closely with communities in the Warrumbungle Shire, Narromine, Dubbo and Gilgandra areas, based on the 2005-2006 Strategic Plan developed by the Orana Arts Board. The Strategic Plan focuses on seven major projects over the next eighteen months including Art Start (the youth arts festival, in conjunction with Arts Out West) and a tour of the theatre piece for children, The Prospectors.
