Focus on our city's growth hub

Thursday 14 November 2024

It’s no secret that Thurgoona-Wirlinga has become the growth hub of Albury. With new homes springing up at an impressive pace and even more land either under development or in the works, this area is buzzing with potential.

Families continue to flock to this picturesque region, drawn by its mix of natural beauty and growing convenience. With the number of subdivision plans already on the table—and more in the pipeline—the expansion of Thurgoona-Wirlinga shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

With rapid growth comes its challenges, however, and we’re already seeing some of those familiar "growing pains". Traffic congestion at Hume Freeway interchanges, infrastructure needs, and service delivery are areas that will continue to require our attention and advocacy to the NSW and Australian governments as the area evolves.

This is nothing new to us. In fact, we’ve been working diligently behind the scenes to address these issues. As Mayor Mack highlighted in his Mayoral Message this month, Thurgoona-Wirlinga is a top priority for our city’s future.

To ensure you’re always in the loop, we’re introducing a brand-new regular segment in All About Albury, starting next month. This will be dedicated specifically to the ongoing improvements in Thurgoona-Wirlinga, so you can stay up to date on all the exciting developments happening in this key area.

For instance, one major project already underway is the planning, design and construction of the Thurgoona Link Rd, which will connect the northern and eastern sections of Thurgoona to the Davey Rd interchange on the Hume Freeway. This will ease congestion and provide a much-needed direct route for motorists.

Another key project on our radar is the redesign of the Shuter Avenue-Thurgoona Drive intersection, an identified bottleneck for drivers entering and exiting the Thurgoona Plaza complex. A solution is in the works, and we’re committed to consulting with you to assist in making this area and others safer and more efficient for everyone.

From roadworks to traffic management, and long-term planning to improve the whole precinct, we’re dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for everyone in Thurgoona-Wirlinga and the broader Albury LGA.

Stay tuned for more updates—you won’t want to miss it!
