Council Plan and Budget

Council Plan

The Council Plan 2025–2029 sets out Council's priorities and what it seeks to achieve over the next four years to work towards the Hume Community Vision 2045 for a 'thriving community with a strong sense of belonging'.

The Council Plan incorporates our Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan and Disability Action Plan. By integrating these plans, we seek to promote and enhance public health and wellbeing in everything we do and reinforce our longstanding commitment to advancing social justice in our city.
