Albury Botanic Gardens Master Plan 2022 - 2042
Albury Botanic Gardens, opened in 1877, is a beloved part of local life for the twin regional cities of Albury and Wodonga. Locally they are known as “The Jewel in the Crown”. More widely, they are among the finest regional botanic gardens in southern Australia. The Master Plan recognises and respects this history and the beloved place of the Gardens in the hearts of Albury residents. Developed by working with the community, stakeholders, council and other botanic gardens, the plan builds on local pride in the Gardens, preserving what is important, while supporting contemporary uses such as education and plant conservation work. This includes replacement of the senescent, but much loved, Elm Avenue; rejuvenation of the central ponds to celebrate the flora of the Murray River and plans to increase the botanical and conservation role of the Gardens. The Master Plan also provides an ambitious proposal for a new community hub with a focus on education, food security and expansion of the popular Children’s Garden. The Albury Botanic Gardens Master Plan 2022 – 2042 was endorsed by AlburyCity in June 2022.
