The City of Hume is a local government area located within the metropolitan area of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[2] It includes the outer north-western suburbs and a number of rural localities between 13 and 40 kilometres from the Melbourne city centre.
The City is unique in Australia in that it was the first local government to introduce a Bill of Rights for its denizens in 2004, following the establishment of a Social Justice Charter in 2001.[3] This Bill of Rights predates the State Government's Charter of Rights and Responsibilities by three years, and is more sweeping in that it explicitly includes economic, social, and cultural rights.[citation needed]
Since 2012, Hume has been divided into three wards – Aitken, Jacksons Creek and Meadow Valley — each of which elect a total of 11 Councillors:
Aitken Ward (4 Councillors)
Jacksons Creek Ward (3 Councillors)
Meadow Valley Ward (4 Councillors)
Council elections are counted using single transferable vote. Voting is compulsory for residents who are on the voters' roll for local council elections, but voters aged 70 years or over are not obliged to vote at local council elections. The Mayor is a serving councillor, chosen annually by councillors. The most recent council election was held in October 2020.[4] The next election will take place in October 2024.
