Council staff will prepare a report on the pros and cons of bonds after the approval of four multi-purpose industrial warehouses, offices and carparking within an industrial estate under construction in Schubach Street, East Albury.

The creation of the estate has attracted ongoing complaints from neighbouring residents including Jacqui McBurnie, who fronted council this week to outline her concerns relating to dust suppression, noise and amenity and raised the possibility of bonds being introduced.

"It has the appeal of a carbuncle that would disfigure an already ugly landscape and its proposed tilt panel construction lays testament to the once forgotten, but always remembered brutalist architecture from the 1970s," she said.

In response to a query from Cr Darren Cameron, the council's senior planner David Christy said there was no formal policy on bonds.

"Legally speaking we could impose a bond, but it will be about determining the appropriate value and how we administer them internally and then how we communicate that so it is consistently applied," Mr Christy said.

Mr Christy said the warehouses couldn't be built until such time the land was developed under the "deferred commencement" provisions of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act.

"Development consent doesn't become live or active until conditions attached are satisfied in this case at the completion of the subdivision development which includes the buffer works, stormwater works, roadworks," he said.

Cr Henk van de Ven successfully moved a motion in urgent business for staff to investigate the introductions of bonds.

"We will get a report back to see what other councils are doing in that space," he said.

"If it's legally possible we will probably impose it."
