Hume’s yearly priorities outlined

Hume council has adopted its Council Annual Action Plan for the current financial year.

The document sets out 59 strategic actions that will be undertaken by council over the 2025-26 financial year that will help achieve the strategic objectives listed in the Council Plan 2025-29.

Progress on the CAAP will be delivered to the community quarterly as well as through council’s annual report.

The actions listed fit within the plan’s four overarching priorities, including; a liveable city of well-designed and connected places; a climate resilient city with a healthy natural environment; a healthy community that is inclusive and proud; and a well governed council that is strategic and trusted.

Some projects listed in the CAAP include progressing the Cloverton Metropolitan Activity Centre master plan, delivering and activating the Sunbury Community Arts and Cultural Precinct and designing the Kalkallo Recreation Reserve stormwater harvesting project.

It also includes the Broadmeadows Metropolitan Activity Centre precinct road map, a business case for the Craigieburn Arts Centre, a Sunbury Transport Plan and finalising the Dog Off-Leash Framework.

Cr Carly Moore said this document will provide greater transparency for the Hume community.

“Whilst I certainly acknowledge this financial year is well underway, we look forward to formally commencing the implementation of year one of our new Council Plan and delivering work that will provide positive outcomes for our community both now and into the future,” she said.

Cr Naim Kurt said he was pleased to see long-standing projects progressing.

“I was really pleased to see some projects that have been on the backburner for a while actually called out within our annual action plan, particularly Progress Reserve and the Craigieburn Arts Centre as well,” he said.

A full copy of the CAAP can be found on council’s website.
