AlburyCity Council

A regional city on the Murray River and the NSW–Victoria border — around 58,000 people across Albury, Lavington, Thurgoona and neighbouring suburbs, forming the cross-border 'Albury-Wodonga' twin city with Wodonga in Victoria. The council runs the local services you use every week — waste, roads, water, libraries, parks, development and the MAMA art museum — and sets your rates. Here's the snapshot, then the stuff that affects your week.
