Let's shape Hume's future together

Provide a hall for prayer

Currently we use a small hall (homestead) in Roxburgh Park Often people spill out of the hall ending up in the grass area outside The community needs a appropriate place to pray I would like to further discuss this issue with council as this can be a mutual community and council participation program Kind regards Nasser

Social housing for Sunbury - community feedback via email

I am involved with caring for those with drug addictions and homeless in the Sunbury area and there is a real need for social housing for longterm single mothers with children.. The rental market is causing such folks to be in cars or jump from temporary to temporary accommodation . The effect on their children is substantial .

Council 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?

Fun

provide more cafes and restaurants.  music in the Parks--weekends. Social meeting places. weekend  concerts.  Dance hall would be fun.

Keep 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.

Remove recycling plants and other super polluters from suburbs where people live. eg: the one at Cooparoo that caught fire twice.

Remove pollutant causing industries from Hume

Sunbury

Stop building new estates around sunbury without fixing infra structure; Replace train gates

Have more bins: one for glass, another for paper, hard plastic and kitchen refuse for ease of recycling. Bins can be colour coded

More bins

Rubbish bins placed along the Attwood walking trail,  maybe near the exit paths (so they are easily accessible for the rubbish collectors), might encourage dog walkers to dispose of their 'doggies do's' in a more responsible fashion?

More shared off-road cycling/walking paths to support healthy lifestyles and alternative forms of transport.

More shared off-road cycling/walking paths to form a well integrated network through Hume, and well inter-connected to Monee Ponds creek & Merri Crk trails. Well connected off-road cycle paths are safe and encourage people to commute by bike, supporting health and well-being, and lessening traffic and associated pollution (reducing carbon emissions)

Mayors and Councilors should reveal their income and benefits they have received from their job roles to the public for scrutiny.

Stem out all forms of corruption!!!

Leadership is about serving the community wholeheartedly, faithfully and transparently through humble, honest, wise and competent modeling.

Servanthood Leaders are mostly needed to make real differences!

Councilors and engagement

Councilors should be made to show that they have engaged with the community before voting on a motion or report too often we see them not and they vote the way they want not the way that is best for the community. They should be able to demonstrate how much engagement and how they have engaged on the topic and who they've engaged.

Human Quarantine centre & lack of infrastructure

If the Federal Government believes Mickleham is the best site for the Human Quarantine centre maybe they can help fund the duplication of Mickleham Rd as there will been an increase of traffic using Mickleham Rd.

Political 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.
