Public Notice: Council Works Update and Regional Health Advisories

Community Notice: Current and Planned Infrastructure Works

AlburyCity continues to progress several major infrastructure projects across the region to improve local services and safety. As of Wednesday, 11 February 2026, the following works are active and may result in localized traffic changes:

• Lavington Drainage Reconstruction: Contractors are currently active between Boronia Street and Tamarind Street. Demolition and shotcrete works are underway to improve the drainage network. Residents should expect minor noise and temporary access restrictions in the immediate area.
• Thurgoona Link Road (Stage 5): Significant works are ongoing at the Kerr Road intersection, including the installation of new sewer infrastructure. This project is vital for the growth of the Thurgoona-Wirlinga area and is scheduled for completion in March 2026.
• Albury Airport Upgrades: Construction is continuing on the Taxiway Alpha extension. This project aims to reduce landing and take-off delays. While stage one night works are complete, daytime construction activities remain on schedule.
• Australia Park Improvements: Works on the new retaining wall and vehicle crossing for the Australia Park carpark and levee are continuing. This $4 million project will improve car parking and access to the Oddies Creek Park Play Space upon completion later this year.

Residents in the Walwa and Towong Shire areas can access specialized support clinics as recovery efforts continue.
• Measles Awareness: NSW and Victorian health departments have flagged an increase in travel-related measles cases. Residents who have recently returned from international travel and experience fever or a blotchy rash should contact their GP for a telehealth consultation prior to visiting in person.
