Welcome to the spring edition of Hume Pride.
With the cooler months coming to an end, the municipality will come alive
this spring with many wonderful festivals and events for the whole family
to enjoy.
The 2012 Hume Festival of Music, from 13-23 September, will see festival-
goers treated to a variety of cultural and community music performances
at some of our City’s iconic venues. To sample the diversity of Hume’s
many cultures, I encourage you also to come along to the Broadmeadows
Fiesta on Sunday 18 November and enjoy a range of activities from
around the globe.
The warmer weather is also an ideal time to spring clean around your
home and garden. Council provides a range of garbage, recycling and
organic waste services to help you reduce your environmental impact.
We care about our environment and together we can make a difference.
Applications are now open for not-for-profit community groups and
organisations to take part in Council’s 2013 Community Grants Program.
Grants are offered to support projects and initiatives that directly benefit
Hume communities. I encourage you to apply today and make a difference
in your local community.
After a hugely successful competition in 2011, Council is pleased to be
running the Hume In Focus Photo Competition in 2013. If you share a
passion for the environment and have an interest in photography, be
inspired, as entries are now open. I look forward to seeing the many
wonderful images that depict aspects of Hume and the efforts people
make towards sustainability at home and on their land.
Congratulations to the community participants and Hume staff whose
hard work and commitment to our environment have created successes
at the 2012 UNAA World Environment Day Awards. Council won the
Biodiversity Award and was a finalist in the Local Government Best
Specific Environmental Initiative category.
Finally, we have seen many capital works projects get underway this year
including the development of Craigieburn Town Centre, construction
of the Broadmeadows Community Hub, extension works at Boardman
Stadium in Sunbury and the completion of works on the initial stages of
Broadmeadows Town Park.
Thank you for your support while I have been the Mayor of Hume in
2012. It has been a pleasure to represent the residents of our growing city
during such a wonderfully busy year.
I hope that you will enjoy this edition and welcome your feedback.
Kind regards,
CR ROSALIND (ROS) SPENCE

The following materials are suitable for an organics bin:
Spring is the perfect time to
get back in to the garden.
To help you dispose of those
weeds that grew over
winter, Council has reduced
the cost of our organics
(green waste) service.
There is no longer a one-off fee to start
an organics service. This means you do
not have to pay for the bin and delivery
costs - a saving of $60 to get your
organics service started!
The only fee now is the annual service
fee which is $106 for a 240L bin, which
is about $2 per week!
How do I order an
organics bin?
ƒƒ Choose the size of an organics bin
that suits your needs: either a 140L
or a 240L bin is available for organics
service;
ƒƒ Complete a Waste Services Request
form, which is available by contacting
Council or visiting our website;
ƒƒ Return the form to Council so we
can arrange delivery of your new
organics bin.
Residents who are currently renting
will need permission from the property
owner prior to commencing the service.
For larger materials, Council also
provides a free tree mulching service
to dispose of tree branches.
Up to four cubic metres (four small
trailer loads) can be taken to a mulching
day per household. Mulch is also
available to take home for free after
each mulching day.
The next tree mulching days will be
held in October and November.

your area, please visit our website or

your house you are entitled to a free

GREEN LID is for all things
green from the garden and
any fruit and vegetables
from the kitchen. This
is the stuff we want to
recycle - it's what we want
to keep out of landfill.
YELLOW LID is the next
best choice. We can place
the following items in
here to be recycled: paper,
carboard, glass, aluminium,
steel and hard plastics.
RED LID is the last choice
and we should stop and
think – is there a recycling
option for this item to
keep it out of landfill? The
following items should go
in the red bin: nappies,
food scraps, soft plastic
bags and wrappers and

Greetings to all Merri Ward residents.
Council works continually on its road
maintenance program to reseal, resheet and
reconstruct local roads and improve their
condition. One of the most significant projects
is the $900,000 reconstruction of Rex Road,
Campbellfield. Council also funds programs
to promote road safety - raising awareness
with motorists to drive more carefully, and
educating our children about road safety.
I encourage all ward residents to contact
me if you have any questions.

Welcome to all Merri Ward residents.
We all need to do our bit to reduce, reuse
and recycle; especially as Council will pay
more than $2.8 million through the Victorian
Government Municipal Landfill Levy. In the
2012/13 Budget, Council is adding to its
extensive waste management program with
an additional $1.66 million for initiatives
such as new garbage, organic and recycling
bins and rehabilitation works at Council’s
landfill sites.
As always, please don't hesitate to get in touch
with me should you have any concerns.

Reconstruction of Rex Road will

in Campbellfield. This upgrade
will cost $900,000. Rex Road
is an industrial road that needs
to cater to significant volumes
of heavy vehicle traffic and is
currently in poor condition.
The reconstruction will provide
an improved road surface that
meets the needs of surrounding
businesses into the future. It will
also improve safety for all road
users. Construction is scheduled
to commence late 2012.
The Broadmeadows
Community Hub will create an
active and vibrant community
resource and provide much
needed infrastructure. The
Broadmeadows Community
Hub is estimated to cost
$4.6 million to construct and
is expected to be completed in
late 2013.
The hub will be located on
the corner of Widford and
Freda Streets, Broadmeadows,
site of the former Dallas
Neighbourhood House.
Works are continuing on
the implementation of the
Broadmeadows Valley Park
Management Plan. Some of
the works being undertaken
during 2012/13 include the
installation of shade shelters,
seating and picnic tables,
upgrade of perimeter fencing,
construction of a gravel walking
trail, maintenance of machinery
access tracks, extensive tree
planting, carparks and park
infrastructure upgrade at

Resident of the Month
YOUR RATES EXPLAINED
Rates are a financial contribution each
ratepayer makes towards the cost
of Council running the City and for
providing the services and building the
facilities our community needs.
Council generates most of its income
from rates, which are then used to
construct and maintain roads and
footpaths, sporting grounds, parks,
gardens and reserves, community
centres, libraries and to collect and
dispose of waste and recyclables.
How your rates are
calculated
Rates are set by Council as a property-
based levy on the valuation of a
property. Council sets a rate in the
dollar by dividing the total amount
required from rate revenue for
the coming year by the total of all
valuations throughout the municipality.
Council uses the Capital Improved Value
(CIV) as its valuation base. The formula
for calculating rates for an individual
property (excluding any additional
charges or arrears) is the valuation
multiplied by the rate in the dollar set
by Council (0.003664). For example if
the CIV of a property is $250,000 and
the Council rate in the dollar is set at
0.003664, the rate bill would be $916.
Each individual rate notice will provide
specific details on how rates have been
calculated.
2012/13 Rate Increase
Overall, in 2012/13, rates will increase
by an average of 5.4 per cent –
comprising 3.7 per cent for Council’s
ongoing operations, 1.4 per cent for
the impact of the carbon tax and 0.3
per cent to meet an increase in the EPA
Municipal Landfill Levy. Rates for the
2012/13 financial year cover 1 July 2012
to 30 June 2013.
Payment dates
The amounts shown on your rate notice
must be paid by the instalment due
dates. Payment reminders are sent to
ratepayers before the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
due dates:
30 September 2012
30 November 2012
