Albury Wodonga Regional Deal
Frank Zaknich and Matthew Hyde are pleased to see the Albury Wodonga Regional Deal has been honoured by the Australian Government.
Our CEOs are delighted to see that the Australian Government will deliver funding of $80 million to support projects in the Albury Wodonga region as part of the Regional Deal!
AlburyCity and Wodonga Council will work in partnership with State and Federal Governments to activate the investment ready projects as soon as possible and finalise or commence further investigations into the scope and analysis of others.
We welcome this commitment from the Australian Government to the Regional Deal partnership and look forward to the benefits it will bring to the region over the short, medium, and longer term.
