Event description
Beyond borders? Collaborative governance for regenerative regionalism
Date: Monday, 22nd September 2025
Time: 6:00pm - 7:00pm
Location: Murray Art Museum Albury - Atrium Gallery
What happens when one community is split by a state line - but still shares their water supply, hospitals, jobs, services and roads in everyday life? In places like Albury-Wodonga, planning for the future means navigating borders, systems, and politics that weren’t built to work together. From disaster response to housing pressures and workforce shortages, border towns face challenges that don’t stop at state lines and neither should the solutions. This event brings together the NSW and Victorian Cross-Border Commissioners to discuss how collaborative governance, adaptive planning, and place-based approaches can support more resilient, inclusive and regenerative futures for Australia’s border communities.
