A Refreshed Community Vision for Hume

Published on 11 February 2025

Hume City Council has proudly adopted a refreshed Hume Community Vision 2045 – a thriving community with a strong sense of belonging. 

This updated Vision reflects the aspirations of Hume residents and lays the groundwork for Hume City’s future. The Community Vision themes are: 

• Equality, equity and inclusion and connection - Everyone in Hume has equal opportunities and resources to fulfil their potential. Hume recognises that people have different needs and provides different levels of support to achieve fairness. Hume is a welcoming, inclusive community, centred around empowerment, resilience, and respect of diversity, creating an environment where everyone feels valued, safe and has a sense of belonging. 
• Well connected and well serviced city - Residents and visitors have easy access, in a timely and efficient manner, to amenities, services and transportation options. 
• Environmentally centred - Our decisions are grounded by all aspects of our environmental impact, through the protection, conservation and expansion of our native flora, fauna, parklands and waterways.  
• A responsible and well governed city - Council continues to be transparent, well governed and accessible. It responsibly engages with community and strategically advocates to meet the future needs of Hume. 

What happens now? 

With the adoption of the Hume Community Vision 2045, Council is now focusing on the development of the Council Plan 2025-2029, which will outline the strategic priorities over the next four years. 

The draft Council Plan will be open for community consultation in April, with the final plan set to be adopted in June 2025.
