Upgraded and new schools will see our residents have education options closer to home. Opportunities for us to submit funding applications for community facilities, sports and library infrastructure programs is also welcome news. But, there is still much more work to be done! We’ll continue to advocate for further investment in our roads and public transport. Visit hume.vic.gov.au/advocacy to see how you can support us in ensuring Hume gets its fair share of investment.

19.01.2022 Have you noticed an increase in discarded face masks in your local streets? Single-use face masks are not recyclable and can harm our environment and wildlife when not disposed of correctly. Please place your used single-use face masks in your rubbish bin. Many people in our community have taken up the challenge to make their own reusable cloth face masks. Like to join them? Find instructions at: dhhs.vic.gov.au/facemask

16.01.2022 Today is hot - but definitely not as hot as the weather we’re expecting this Summer Sometimes our day is overloaded with tasks and distractions and we forget things. Remember to look before you lock to ensure your child or pet is not one of them. Creating a safer routine can help lower the risk of leaving a child or pet in a car. Below are some handy tips to start incorporating into your routine:... open the back door of the car every time you park, even if there is no one in the back seat place a child's bag or toy in the front seat as a reminder leave a bag, phone or wallet in the back seat of the car use a mirror for rear facing car seats create a mental list of things to check each time you leave the car, for example, 'baby, keys, wallet and phone.'
