Find out what we're doing to prepare for future storm events.

In partnership with City of Wodonga, we've  endorsed a new Two Cities One Community Partnership Agreement that reaffirms both Councils’ 2017 commitment to working together in planning, developing and growing the Albury Wodonga region, for the benefit of our border community.

What it means
 
 

During conversations on what you'd like to see for our region 'Towards Albury 2050', you told us you want access to more bicycle and walking tracks, whilst mainting our stunning natural environment. Eastern Hill is regularly used by walkers, trail runners, mountain bikers and visitors to our region, and  the time has come for an upgrade to bring the space to life, whilst protecting the natural landscape.

One of our roles is to listen to and represent the needs and desires of our community, and advocate on your behalf. Our Advocacy Strategy outlines how we will focus our efforts on the things that are important to you.

​Not every disability shows visual signs. Some disabilities are hidden, but they can significantly impact how people experience the world. To make Albury a more inclusive and accessible community for people to visit, live, work and play, we've joined the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower scheme. People with hidden disabilities can choose to wear a sunflower product, as a subtle way of letting others know they may require additional support, assistance, or a bit more time.
