Albury Animal Care Centre Redevelopment

AlburyCity operates the region’s impounding service through the Albury Animal Care Centre. The Centre provides a critical service to AlburyCity as well as the surrounding Local Government Areas of Greater Hume Shire and the Victorian Councils of: Wodonga Council, Towong Shire, Indigo Shire and Rural City of Wangaratta.

The new centre will meet best practice standards for animal welfare and will replace the existing facility. Completion of this project will see the redevelopment of the Albury Animal Care Centre and the establishment of a Learning Hub and emergency animal care pens.

Funded by the NSW Government, the Learning Hub will include purpose-built training rooms to cater for community members and school groups. The grant will also allow for improved sustainability elements for the redevelopment of the animal care centre, increased digital connectivity and CCTV, plus emergency accommodation pens.

The redeveloped Animal Care Centre will provide state-of-the-art animal facilities, a climate-controlled environment, meeting rooms, adoption spaces, dog and cat meet-and-greet areas all innovatively designed.
