Hume City Council
NGAA is delighted to announce Hume City Council as the host of the first day of our annual Symposium on 11 October 2023. Under the leadership of the Mayor, Cr Joseph Haweil and CEO Sheena Frost, Hume City Council is one of Australia's fastest-growing and most culturally-diverse communities. It is home to almost 260,000 residents and is forecast to grow to 389,000 people by 2041.
We are looking forward to a showcase of the innovative ways Hume City Council is responding to population and housing growth, with a strong commitment to equity and collaboration.
