AlburyCity is rapidly growing. It has sustained a population growth of more than 1.5% annually for the past five years, with projections indicating an ongoing increase of 1,000 people - or 400 dwellings per year.
To continue to grow sustainably, the city must have the necessary infrastructure to support future needs.
We are undertaking the long-term planning to effectively grow the city for our future needs, ensuring essential infrastructure keeps pace with growth, demand and community expectations.
Now on public exhibition are key documents that will shape Albury's growth and future-proof our essential infrastructure. The Albury Water Infrastructure Master Plan, the Albury Wastewater Infrastructure Master Plan, Social Infrastructure Strategy and the revised Thurgoona Wirlinga Precinct Structure Plan provide a structured approach in the areas of land use and infrastructure. Head to Engaging Albury to find out more and make a submission.
Together, these documents will play a key role in the future of the city over the next 20 to 50 years. They form part of Council’s long-term commitment towards Securing Albury’s Future - Together, supported by a range of strategic projects and plans.
They will ensure Council can plan effectively for future needs, ensuring essential infrastructure keeps pace with growth, demand and community expectations as the Council faces twin challenges of ageing infrastructure and a fast-growing population.
Keep an eye out on our Engaging Albury platform and social media and be a part of Securing Albury's Future Together.
