Hi there,
There’s been lots going on in recent weeks! In this edition, we'll meet one of first-time Councillors, Jessica Kellahan, announce opportunities for you to have your say on some exciting new initiatives, and highlight some key projects and events happening in your community.

As a high school teacher and mother of two, Cr Kellahan is particularly looking forward to working with our youth and advocating for youth mental health and education services.
She’s also passionate about encouraging inclusivity and diversity in our community, advocating for climate change solutions, and promoting our arts and culture sector.

We’re delighted that the Australian Government has committed $80 million to the Albury Wodonga Cross Border Regional Deal, which will allow for a range of important community projects to progress.
The opportunities through the Regional Deal wouldn’t have been possible without the Two Cities One Community collaboration.

We’re working with Charles Sturt University to undertake a Heritage Review. This project will review our heritage vision, themes, listings and invite nominations for places of heritage significance.
If you live, work or visit the Albury Local Government Area, or are a heritage property owner or tenant, we’re keen to hear your views.

In partnership with NSW Police, we launched a new CCTV camera network in and around the Lavington CBD.
The cameras will provide live footage to monitors at the Albury Police Station, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The system is designed to ensure community members feel safe on our streets, and provides an extra layer of protection by deterring crime and giving local police a valuable tool to identify offenders.

In February, 400 local residents were randomly contacted by telephone for the Community Satisfaction Survey, conducted by independent partner, Micromex Research.
We were humbled to see that residents have a continuing high level of satisfaction with the services that we provide on your behalf, and that we are outperforming our regional counterparts.
