🔑 Did you know a single key can unlock accessible facilities across Australia?

The Master Locksmith Access Key (MLAK) helps people with disability access a range of facilities, including Changing Places, locked accessible toilets, Liberty Swings, railway station lifts, council facilities and national parks.

Eligible Albury residents can apply for a free MLAK, providing access to participating facilities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Albury has two Changing Places facilities, located at:
📍 National Foresters Grove, Lavington
📍 Hovell Tree Park, South Albury

Both facilities can be accessed using an MLAK.

Saw a snake? Let's keep this encounter a brief one.

If you spot one:
✅ Stay calm
✅ Keep your distance
✅ Give it space to move away

❌ Don't approach it
❌ Don't try to catch it
❌ Don't try to kill it

If a snake is in an AlburyCity park or garden, call 02 6023 8111. If it's on your property, contact a licensed snake catcher.

The safest snake encounter is the one where both you and the snake go your separate ways.
