The public exhibition period relating to the Planning Proposal – Albury Conservation Zoned Lands Review has concluded.

All submissions received and issues raised have been documented for further consideration in the process finalising this review.

On 12 August 2024, Council endorsed the Planning Proposal as exhibited subject to recommend amendments. The Planning Proposal is in the process of being finalised with the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, including the making of the amendment to the Albury Local Environmental Plan 2010.

Conservation Zones (previously known as Environmental Zones) are applied to land with significant environmental value, as identified in the Albury Local Environmental Plan 2010.

We are undertaking a review of Conservation Zoned Land and are seeking your feedback on the proposed changes. This review is based on an ecological assessment and analysis of land to determine environmental value and inform zoning.

A summary of the key changes are highlighted below:

  • Rezoning to add land to the Conservation Zone, where the land contains significant environmental values;
  • Rezoning to remove land from the Conservation Zone and changing it to a suitable adjacent zone, where the land does not reflect significant environmental values;
  • An overall net increase in Conservation Zone land area (approximately 400 hectares) across the LGA

For detailed information, see document library below.
