Tralee is a suburb in the Queanbeyan–Palerang Regional Council local government area, abutting the border with the Australian Capital Territory and south west of the city of Queanbeyan, New South Wales. It is immediately south of Environa, the site of a city planned during the 1920s that was later sold off as undeveloped land. The suburb is named after Tralee in Ireland.
The residential site, which falls under the flight path of Canberra Airport was strongly opposed by airport authorities. However, despite the concerns, the New South Wales State Planning Minister Kristina Keneally initially approved Queanbeyan City Council's plan for the development of 5000 residential blocks in 2008. In November 2012 the New South Wales Government announced that it had approved the rezoning of the land. Protests have continued by the airport, federal Labor politicians and the ACT Government.
