Hume City Council has partnered with leading car share provider GoGet to deliver a 12-month car share trial across three locations in the municipality.
The trial launched this month and will provide residents with a flexible, affordable and sustainable transport option, giving them access to a vehicle when needed without the ongoing costs and responsibilities of car ownership.
Three dedicated GoGet vehicles are now available at:
- Grand Boulevard / Millicent Drive, Craigieburn
- Clarendon Avenue, Craigieburn
- Sahi Crescent near Roxburgh Park Station, Roxburgh Park
Once registered with GoGet, members can book a vehicle for an hour, a day or longer, with fuel, insurance, registration and maintenance included.
The locations were selected in partnership with GoGet, focusing on areas with higher residential density, commercial activity and access to public transport.
Car sharing helps reduce reliance on private vehicle ownership and supports more efficient use of parking and urban space. The trial is part of Council's commitment to exploring smarter transport solutions as Hume's population continues to grow.
Council will monitor usage, community feedback and local demand throughout the trial to help inform future transport planning and assess opportunities for expanding car share services across Hume.
