Public notices

NSW Local Government elections are held every four years on the second Saturday in September.  The next election was scheduled for 12 September 2020. The Minister for Local Government has announced that the September 2020 local government elections will be postponed to address the risks posed by the COVID-19 virus. More information can be found here.

Local government elections are a vital part of the democratic process, ensuring local councils are accountable to their local communities.
Therefore, the decision to postpone them has not been taken lightly but is necessary to ensure the health and safety of voters, NSW Electoral Commission staff and election candidates.

On Monday 11 May 2020, Council endorsed a Planning Proposal to adjust the Minimum Lot Size for some areas of Ettamogah Rise Estate that included a consequential amendment to the Ettamogah Development Plan, Appendix E of the Albury Development Control Plan 2010 (DCP).

The Ettamogah Development Plan guides the orderly and sustainable development of land in Ettamogah Rise Estate. The amendment allows for additional open space and changed minimum lot size, building setback and fencing provisions and is consistent with past development approvals and outcomes sought by the endorsed Planning Proposal (as revised).

This amendment to our DCP will commence from the gazettal date of the Amendment No. 25 to Albury Local Environmental Plan 2010, as sought by the endorsed Planning Proposal, and is available here.

For further information, get in touch with Integrated City Planning on 02 6023 8285.
