What happened
Councillors in Albury voted 5-4 on October 12, 2026, to defer the consideration of a special rate variation (SRV). This decision went against staff advice that supported a cumulative increase of nearly 30 per cent in municipal taxes over two years.

Why it matters
The deferral means immediate plans for a large increase in municipal taxes were dropped. However, the council is also examining how the city's deficit grew from $11 million in 2025-26 to $23 million in a later disclosure.
