Heritage conservation
Identify heritage areas and items in our city and understand the development process to undertake to ensure our rich heritage is preserved.
On 27 July 2026, Council adopted its Heritage Strategy 2026-2036 and Heritage Review.
The Heritage Review recommends changes to heritage listings in the Albury Local Environmental Plan 2010, as well as a review of heritage-related planning controls in the Albury Development Control Plan 2010.
These amendments are separate statutory processes and will include further public exhibition and reporting to Council before any changes are finalised.
