Albury Entertainment Centre Redevelopment Halted Over Heritage Discovery
What happened
Work on the $36.08 million redevelopment of the convention wing of the Albury Entertainment Centre has been stopped indefinitely due to heritage concerns. The pause occurred after workers discovered European and Aboriginal artefacts during excavation and demolition at the site in Albury. Albury City is currently working with Heritage NSW and local Aboriginal stakeholders to obtain an Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit to allow construction to resume later this year.

Why it matters
The project was jointly funded by the city, NSW, and federal governments, and Zauner Construction was contracted to undertake the work. The indefinite halt of the redevelopment impacts the planned use of the Albury Entertainment Centre and affects the financial commitments of the involved government bodies and contractors.
