Environment
As a public land manager and with responsibilities for land use planning, we protect our environment and regulate activities that impact on our natural resources.
Trees and vegetation
Managing Albury's urban forest, protecting native vegetation and helping our community care for trees and bushland.
Controlled burning
A controlled burn is the controlled use of fire under carefully managed conditions to reduce fuel such as dead wood, leaf litter, bark and shrubs.
Firewood collection
Dead trees and fallen timber are vital habitat for many animals, including a number of threatened species.
Roadside vegetation
Some of Albury’s most significant plants and animals live alongside the roads in our local neighbourhoods.
Trees
Albury's urban areas meet and interact with river plains and bushland to create a rich and diverse environment.
Weeds and biosecurity
Weeds are a major threat to our unique natural environment, threatening the survival of hundreds of native plants and animals.
Public health
We help protect community health through food safety, environmental health, waste regulation, pollution monitoring and public health programs.
Air quality
We are responsible for complaints about air pollution that relate to industries or facilities and for regulating and managing vegetation burn-offs.
Asbestos
When Asbestos is disturbed, it produces a dust that contains asbestos fibres. Fibres breathed into the lungs can cause a range of health problems.
Contaminated land
Land can be contaminated by solids (including asbestos), liquids, gases or odours that make it unsafe or unsuitable to live or work on.
Noise
No one wants to live next door to a noisy neighbour or a construction site. There are things you can do to manage the impact of noise.

The OSSM Plan and subsequent guidelines outlines Council’s monitoring program to assist property owners to maintain their OSSM system in a satisfactory operating condition.
