First home buyers and transfer duty

In 2025–26, about 258 first home buyers in the Albury council area were let off transfer duty or paid less under a NSW first home buyer scheme, up from 239 the year before. That's 0.8% of the 32,137 across NSW. Revenue NSW paid about 34 First Home Owner Grants here. Transfer duty on residential property here came to about $36.3M, 0.3% of NSW's $10.6bn. Revenue NSW counts by postcode, so these are estimates: each postcode's figures are split by where its homes are.

NSW's lines are Revenue NSW's land-related duty statistics, which count residential transfers by the documents it receives; duty here comes from its postcode statistics, by the postcode on each lodged transfer. They're counted differently, so compare how each changed, not the amounts. Both run from 2020–21, the first year of the postcode figures.

Exemptions are counted when the transfer is lodged and grants when they're paid, so the two don't match. Duty is the amount paid, not a count of sales.

Crash counts follow traffic as well as risk: places crossed by highways and motorways, and busy centres such as the Sydney CBD, count the crashes of everyone who drives, rides or walks through, not only residents. Each crash is placed where police recorded it, often the nearest intersection, and only police-reported crashes are counted.

Fines the council issues

The council issued 2,259 parking fines in 2025–26, 37.9 for every 1,000 residents of the Albury council area (NSW councils together: 150.6), with a face value of $347k. It issued 19 food safety fines.

This counts how hard the council enforces parking, and how many people drive in, not how its residents park. Fines on state land, such as hospitals, universities and police patrols, are no council's and aren't counted. Face value is what the fines were for when issued, not what was paid: many are reduced, withdrawn or never paid.

Food safety fines show how a council deals with breaches, by fine or by warning, not how clean its kitchens are.

Ambulance

In 2025–26, ambulances were sent 256.8 times for every 1,000 residents of the area around the Albury council area (NSW 182.2). In April to June 2026, half of its emergency calls were reached within 12 minutes and nine in ten within 32 minutes (NSW 14 and 33): lower is quicker.

Could fire or flood reach the Albury council area, and how many homes run on solar?

23% of addresses in the Albury council area fall on mapped bush fire prone land. We have no flood map for it, so we can't say whether it floods.

08Getting around

How easy is it to reach public transport in the Albury council area?

At 8–9am on a weekday, 0% of residents in the Albury council area live where public transport access is good: TfNSW level 4 (medium–high) or better, below NSW's 33% (higher is better). Their average level is 0.8 of 6 (low), below NSW's 2.6. The share is much the same as in December 2022.

Going out

The Albury council area had 122 licensed venues on October 2026's list, 2 for every 1,000 residents (NSW 1.7): 17 hotels, 6 clubs, 3 small bars, 79 restaurants and other on-premises venues and 17 bottle shops. 22 are licensed past midnight. That's down from 126 in 2021.

Each year is that October's list: Liquor & Gaming NSW cancels licences in bulk once a year, so months don't compare.

Poker machines

The Albury council area had 1,157 poker machines at 15 clubs and hotels in 2025, 19.4 for every 1,000 residents (NSW 10.2). Its hotels made $24.5M in net profit. Liquor & Gaming NSW reported its clubs with Greater Hume, so there's no total in dollars for this area alone. Bowerbird's estimate, modelled from its venues' rankings and machines, is about $98M, not a published figure. Worked out over the residents of each report's councils, the machines made $1,477 for each resident (NSW $1,088).

Clubs and hotels in 2025

Net profit is what the machines kept after paying out prizes, before gaming tax. Venues' takings include visitors, so this isn't what the area's own residents lost. Figures per resident divide by everyone who lives here, not only adults. Hotel years run January to December and club years December to November, a month apart.

The estimate: Bowerbird's model of what each club's and hotel's machines kept after paying out prizes, before gaming tax, fitted to Liquor & Gaming NSW's venue rankings, machine counts and council totals and added up by where the venues are. Liquor & Gaming NSW publishes no such figure, so read it as a rough one: a venue that made a loss reads as a small profit, and where clubs' own accounts were reported, most read 5% to 12% below the model. Venues' takings include visitors, so this isn't what the area's own residents lost. Hotel years run January to December and club years December to November.

Market sales, 2001 to 2 November 2026, one price per dealing, under the suburb figures' rules (no bulk, part or nominal sales). A sale counts in the council its address is in; sales that matched no address, about one in ten, and the few spanning two councils are left out. Medians need at least 5 sales, growth 20 at both ends. Homes are what VG records as a residence; vacant land and commercial, farm and other property are counted apart.

The ABS's own figures for the council area. Income counts the residents who lodged a tax return, by where they live; government pensions and allowances are left out, so it differs from the Census household income.

  9. Australian Electoral Commission, House of Representatives results by polling place, and votes by where electors live (SA1), federal elections 2007–2025 (AEC Tally Room). Votes are counted where they are cast, not where voters live, so a place's figures are estimates. For 2019 and 2022 they come from the AEC's count of votes by the SA1 electors live in, which places nearly every vote; for the other elections, each election-day vote is placed at the polling places nearest the homes in its division, shared by their residents (2021 Census), and pre-poll, postal and absent votes can't be placed. So each figure shows the share of its electorates' formal votes it is built from. Two-party-preferred is Labor against the Coalition.

State figures are estimates, as for federal: each election-day vote is placed at the polling places nearest the homes in its district, shared by their residents (2021 Census), and pre-poll, postal, iVote and absent votes can't be placed, so each figure shows the share of its districts' formal votes it is built from. Two-party-preferred is Labor against the Coalition, from NSWEC's two-candidate count where the final two were Labor and the Coalition; districts where they weren't have no two-party figure. Council results are NSWEC's own counts for each council, ward and mayoralty, not estimates; a council's polling places place it, never its name.

Parking fines per 1,000 residents use the ABS estimated resident population, and are left blank in a year a council issued fewer than 100; the latest year runs only to the latest month in the files.

We keep each December and the latest month; TfNSW's last two months are provisional. Rates per 1,000 residents use the ABS estimated resident population. TfNSW hides counts under 20, so a council's shares are estimates, scaled to its fleet totals, and less certain in small councils; the fuel, type and make counts leave those rows out. Shares of the light fleet and the average age start with the first December after TfNSW changed how it places vehicles in councils, and the average age runs a year behind the rest.

Machines are authorised machines at a year's last report, and can include machines in storage. Small councils are reported together with neighbours, and those groups change between reports: a council with a combined report has no net profit in dollars of its own, and its figure per resident is worked out over the residents of the councils in each report (ABS estimated resident population).

Our estimate of each club's and hotel's net profit from its machines, before gaming tax, from 2017 (suburbs from 2021). Liquor & Gaming NSW publishes each venue's rank by net profit and its machines, and dollars only by council; the model fits the ranks to the council totals and adds the venues up by the postcode and council the rankings give and the suburb the premises list places them in. It isn't a published figure, and this release has a range for a venue (the map's venue card) but none for an area: on council rows held back, its median error is under 1%, and where clubs' own accounts were reported, most read 5% to 12% below it.

ATO incomes are published by postcode only and a median can't be shared out, so this page leaves them off: the Census 2021 household income stands in. Its rents are NSW Communities and Justice's own council figures, which place each new bond at its home's address. A suburb belongs to the council its centre falls in; suburb figures are the suburb pages' own.
