Official City Notices: Essential Service Updates and Public Safety Advisories

Public Service Announcement: Albury City Council Notices

As of Friday, 6 February 2026, several official notices and public service announcements remain active for the Albury and Border region. Residents and visitors are encouraged to review the following updates regarding local infrastructure, health alerts, and community planning initiatives.

Urgent Water Supply Alert

AlburyCity has issued a critical notice regarding the local water network. Due to a technical issue within the municipal network, local water treatment plants are currently operating at a reduced capacity. While the Council has confirmed that the water remains safe for consumption, residents are requested to limit their water usage to essential purposes only until further notice. This includes minimizing non-essential activities such as high-pressure hosing, car washing, and extensive garden irrigation. Maintenance teams are working to restore the plants to full operational capacity, and an update will be provided once the restrictions are lifted.

Public Notice: Proposed Road Naming

In accordance with Section 162 of the Roads Act 1993, AlburyCity is seeking community feedback on a proposal to name a new public thoroughfare. The proposed name is Dornan Lane, intended for the new road located between Thurgoona Street and Wilcox Street in Albury. Community members wishing to lodge a submission regarding this name choice have until the close of business on Tuesday, 10 February 2026. Submissions can be sent via email to the Council's information desk or through standard post addressed to the AlburyCity Administration Building.

Fire Danger and Environmental Health Advisories

With the summer season continuing, the Country Fire Authority (CFA) and local emergency services have identified a 'High' fire danger rating for the North East district for Friday, 6 February. While no Total Fire Ban is currently in effect for this specific date, residents are urged to remain vigilant and ensure their bushfire survival plans are up to date. This follows recent heatwaves and regional bushfire activity that prompted a 'Code Brown' emergency activation earlier in the season.

NSW Health Advisories

NSW Health has maintained several active alerts relevant to the Southern NSW region:

• Mosquito-Borne Disease Risk: Communities across southern NSW are urged to take precautions against mosquito bites. Recent monitoring suggests a continued risk of viruses such as Japanese Encephalitis and Murray Valley Encephalitis.
• Measles Alert: A state-wide alert remains in place following an increased risk of measles transmission. Residents are encouraged to ensure their vaccinations are current, particularly those planning international travel.
• Public Drug Warning: An advisory remains active regarding high-dose MDMA tablets and synthetic cathinones currently circulating within the state, posing significant health risks.

For ongoing updates on these notices, residents should monitor official local government communication channels and emergency service broadcasts.
