Hume Council News & Events

Winter lights Festival

One of the big events for the local calendar is on this weekend. Get out your winter woolies and put your dancing boots on. The winter Festival is a free event that is sure to excite and delight. There will be video projections, Live Entertainment and even Sway pole performers. It should be a great night, if any of the past events are anything to go by. Don’t forget to stick around till the end for the fireworks. [ INFO ]

Council to end tree mulching days

From July the council will not be offering tree mulching days. There is one last day for Sunbury on the 20th June. From then on you will have to book for a collection or use your tip passes to get rid of them. The other alternative is to use your green bin more often and cut them down to fit. [ INFO ]

Council buys land to improve road Infrastructure

Whether you agree or not? We need some of our suburbs to link with each other and provide other routes. This week the council announced they are buying some land to create better traffic and bike routes in Broadmeadows. The section of land they have acquired has been a long time coming and should alleviate some congestion on Camp Rd. [ INFO ]

Campbellfield Tip Issues

Council have stated on their website that the Bolinda Road Tip is only accepting certain types of waste and you will be asked to dump your rubbish out in the open pits. Allow for extra time when you go down there. [ INFO ]

Calendar of Freebies

We thought we would add events that are free or cost very little to attend. Check out the Council Calendar for this week [ INFO ]

Hume Local News

Wildlife Roadstrike Inquiry

We all know that there is a kangaroo issue around some parts of the Hume area, and it is becoming a danger for animals and people alike. Just this week I know of someone who hit a kangaroo on a major road. If you want to express your opinion and have your voice heard then fill out this survey. The Vic Government have a survey that is still open. [ INFO ]

What’s better? Roundabout or Traffic lights

Donnybrook Rd was a major election promise a few months ago and it seems there is some movement towards doing some type of traffic management. Question you have to ask, “is it better”? Next week, work will start on the intersection. [ INFO ]
