Message from Mayor Kevin Mack

The area between the Albury Swim Centre and the Murray River is being transformed as preliminary works continue to create the Riverside Precinct - our new waterfront playground and visitor attraction.

 
 
 
Bridge milestone as trail extension continues

The first of four new bridges on the Wagirra Trail extension is steadily taking shape, as we work towards opening up new areas of beautiful riverside country to walkers and riders. Decking is now being placed on the suspension bridge, which crosses a lagoon, with work to start soon on three more bridges along the 12-kilometre trail extension.

Beautiful Bella up for adoption

Bella the two-year-old staffy is our latest pet of the week in need of a home. Bella's sweet-natured and friendly, and she'd love to be part of a family that will give plenty of affection and attention. She's just one of several dogs and cats up for adoption at the Albury Animal Care Centre, so why not find out if we have your new family member ready to adopt?
