Portfolio — 11 June 2026

Tribune’s note

Minister for Emergency Management Kristy McBain announced the formal commencement of works on the Albury Entertainment Centre Convention Wing redevelopment, positioning the project within the broader $80 million Albury Wodonga Regional Projects initiative [TA-260610-infras-f77959d1c925]. The redevelopment draws on three funding sources: $10 million from the Australian Government, $15 million from New South Wales, and $5 million from Albury City Council — a tri-government funding structure that reflects the cross-border character of the Albury Wodonga region [TA-260610-infras-f77959d1c925].

The scope of works includes new pre-function spaces, offices, meeting rooms, an upgraded theatrette, a loading dock, and a larger multipurpose events area, expanding the centre's capacity for conventions and community events. The media release frames the investment in regional access and amenity terms, with the minister emphasising that regional communities should have access to high-quality, accessible facilities and that the precinct would become a vibrant, year-round destination.
