Earlier this month, Hume City Council adopted the Long-Term Financial Plan 2025/26–2034/35, the Revenue and Rating Plan 2025/26–2028/29, and the draft Asset Plan 2025 – three major strategies developed to support the delivery of Council's strategic direction, by guiding how we manage our resources over the next decade.
Through a deliberative community engagement process, a 47-member panel helped shape all three documents to ensure they accurately reflect community priorities and needs.
These plans outline how income from rates, fees, charges, grants, and other sources will be raised and allocated to meet community needs, support long-term priorities, and ensure rates and charges are fair, transparent, and sustainable.
The Draft Asset Plan works hand-in-hand with the Financial Plan, providing a 10-year blueprint for maintaining, renewing and improving infrastructure – from playgrounds and sports fields to libraries, community centres, and local roads. It outlines how Council will:
Maintain and upgrade existing facilities
Plan for new infrastructure as the city grows
Replace ageing assets
Maximise value for every dollar spent
Council is currently in a strong financial position – stable, debt-free, and well placed to meet both current and future obligations.
Together, these plans provide a strong foundation for stability while delivering the infrastructure and services our growing community depends on.
Every decision made today shapes the Hume of tomorrow – and we invite residents to explore these plans to see how that future is being built.
