New in North Albury? Start here
Everything a new arrival actually asks in the first month, answered from the 125 businesses, clubs and places we list here. No sponsored entries, nothing paid for.
First, the thing people get wrong
North Albury runs from the Waugh Road shops up to the Lavington boundary, and it is mostly postwar housing on wide blocks with the odd pocket of newer infill. Families here use the North Albury shopping strip and the sporting fields off Union Road rather than driving into the CBD. The trade work reflects the housing stock: reroofing, rewiring, drainage and bathroom rebuilds on homes built in the fifties and sixties.
North Albury is in New South Wales, postcode 2640, and 1 of the towns people here use day to day are in Victoria. That is why this matters more in North Albury than it does most places: the state a job is done in decides which trade licence applies, which public holiday calendar sets the penalty rate, and which regulator hears a complaint.
If you are hiring anyone, the border check tells you which state's rules apply to an address, and the licence check opens the right register.
The shape of the place
North Albury runs on Albury for anything it does not have itself, and the drive is about 2 kilometres. These are the facts that decide who you ring and where you go, rather than the ones a tourism page leads with.

When something breaks
Trades with a yard or an office in North Albury. Every listing shows where its details came from and when they were last read.
Before you pay a deposit. Ask which licence they are working under
for your job and check it. It takes a minute on the
licence check, and on this border the
licence that counts is the one for the state the work is in, not the state the
business is registered in.
