Let's shape Hume's future together
Consultation has concluded
Hume City Council sought ideas from the community about what will make Hume a great place to live, learn, work and play in the future. The ideas shared, along with what we’ve heard, helped our Community Panel to draft a Community Vision for Hume City.
On Saturday 31 July more than 100 community members attended an interactive online workshop where the draft community vision was revealed.
In small groups community members had the opportunity to talk about the actions needed to achieve the three themes in the four-year Council Plan:
- A community that is resilient, inclusive and thriving
- A city that cares about our planet, is appealing and connected
- A Council that inspires leadership, is accountable, and puts the community first
Feedback from this session is currently being collated and reviewed for inclusion in the four-year Council Plan.
What we heard at the community event on Saturday 31 July 2021
A summary report has been prepared based on all of the feedback received at the community event. This report also includes feedback from some people who had registered but were unable to attend on the day.
What happens next?
Your comments and feedback on the actions for the Council Plan will inform the draft Council Plan.

A community that is resilient, inclusive and thriving
over 1 year agoCLOSED: This ideas has concluded.What priority actions would you like to see to achieve this theme:
Kim Aldredover 1 year agoPutting to practical & profitable use - old buildings esp. the Jacksons Hill Heritage buildings surrounding that & Western Water areas
With local & State investment, I could easily trransform the old and fenced off Jacksons Hill asylum Address: 17 Circular Dr, Sunbury VIC 3429 Into a thriving and productive Health Retreat. This could generate $$$ thousands of dollars attracting; local, State, Interstate & potentially International visitors
0 comment3Lukasover 1 year agoKeep our suburbs clean
Do something about stopping people from littering and dumping rubbish in our streets and local parks. Also our streets are full of house waste waiting to be collected.
2 comments5Dawnover 1 year agoCouncil facilitated social groups for seniors. Life is pretty lonely these days. We don't have regular places to meet like we used to.
There may be groups out there but we don't hear about them. How can we get involved?
0 comment1Dianaover 1 year agoHealthy & Safe Community
I would like to see more exercise equipment in local parks around Hume - with a sheltered roof so they can be utilised on rainy days. Encourage yoga/pilate classes in community halls or learning centres - where residents can access affordable classes.

Chrisover 1 year agoLocal community battery
Hume should be investing in local green community based battery solutions for its residents to take full advantage of solar that its residents generate.
0 comment2Bazover 1 year agoNative tree forest along sunbury railway line
This has already started. Just need to increase plantation. As trains arrive at Sunbury they enter a native forest that then opens up downtown Sunbury and station.
1 comment2Hume Research, Evaluation & Engagement Teamover 1 year agoLandscape roundabout
would like to see the roundabout at outside my house landscaped very ugly at the moment
2 comments1Hume Research, Evaluation & Engagement Teamover 1 year agoImprovements needed
improve Transport in Hume area. provide more plants and trees. Try to keep streets free of rubbish. improve Parking areas.
0 comment4Ibrahimover 1 year agoConnect Barrymore Rd (Greenvale) with Barry Rd
We suffer from traffic congestion on Mickleham road as there is no other road between Somerton Rd and Broadmeadows Rd to allow another option for traffic. However, Barrymore Rd in Greenvale starts at Mickleham and continues with nice four lanes then becomes a dead end! Same at the other side with Barry Rd. I don't know if there are plans already to connect these roads or not, but I think it is about the right time to link Barrymore with Barry road to reduce the traffic both on both Somerton Rd and Mickleham Rd. Thanks!

What priority actions would you like to see to achieve this theme:
Chrisover 1 year agoAccountability
Residents should have a way to officially lodge complaints about councilor code of conduct
1 comment0Bulla Community and Action Groupover 1 year agoCouncil puts community first
before Council remove important infrastructure in a town, the Community should be advised of Councils intention and why. A single Councillor should not make a single handed decision based on his thoughts without consultation with the community if an other option would serve the community better.
1 comment6Chrisover 1 year agocouncil integrity and motions.
It is evident that some councillors vote on motions raised by other councillors based on who raised the motion. This removes and shred of integrity in council and is a larger council culture issue that needs to be addressed.
0 comment0Chrisover 1 year agoPolitical alliances
Councilors are supposed to be independent members of community. If we want council to be accountable the code of conduct should restrict how councilors engage with political parties and members of. Councilors should not be permitted to attend meetings for political parties while they are a councilor to uphold the independence.
0 comment2Dianaover 1 year agoLeadership development opportunities
I would like to see Hume Council offer leadership development programs for young people and women returning to work. Employment Pathways programs and act as an employment hub connecting residents with employers for local job opportunities. Remind residents of local council jobs openings in the newsletter. Facilitate open working spaces for people working from home during COVID and post COVID -
