Share your ideas to shape Hume's future
From 18 February to 16 April 2021, Hume City Council is seeking ideas from the community about what will make Hume a great place to live, learn, work and play in the future.
The ideas you share, along with what we've heard through previous consultations, will help a Community Panel, made up of 40 Hume community members, to write a Community Vision for Hume City. The Community Vision will describe a future the Hume community want to achieve together, and will guide all of Hume City Council’s work.
The ideas you share will also be used to ensure the 4-year Council Plan and budget, and the 10-year financial and asset plans reflect the expectations and priorities of the Hume community.
To make this Vision truly representative of the diverse Hume community, we want to hear from you if you live, learn, work or play in Hume City.
