Albury City and Wodonga Council have reaffirmed their shared commitment to the Albury-Wodonga region’s future with the re-signing of the Two Cities One Community Partnership Agreement.
This joint commitment will see the two councils continue working together to achieve the aspirations of their communities.
Signed by Albury Mayor Kevin Mack and Wodonga Mayor Michael Gobel, the Two Cities One Community partnership agreement commenced in 2017 and formalises the long-standing spirit of collaboration between the two councils, providing a clear framework for action to grow and strengthen the Albury-Wodonga region.
With a combined population of more than 100,000 people and location on the New South Wales and Victorian border, Albury and Wodonga are intrinsically linked. Communities share services, infrastructure and facilities, and face common challenges and opportunities.
This agreement recognises these are best addressed through a united and strategic approach.
Both councils have committed to advancing the community aspirations and ambitions outlined in their respective community strategic plans, Towards Albury 2050 and Wodonga 2050. The partnership promotes a coordinated, innovative approach to regional planning, designed to achieve value for money through collaboration on the design, funding and delivery of major infrastructure and facilities.
