Town planning in the City of Hume.
Craigieburn · Sunbury · Broadmeadows · Greenvale · Somerton · Kalkallo
Hume carries two of Melbourne's great growth engines — the Craigieburn–Kalkallo corridor and Sunbury — alongside the established north around Broadmeadows and one of Australia's largest concentrations of freight and logistics floorspace near Melbourne Airport.
Planning here means precinct structure plans in the growth areas, employment-land questions across the Somerton and airport industrial belt, and a control most municipalities never deal with: the airport environs framework, which limits noise-sensitive uses under the flight paths and protects the airport's 24-hour operation.
The Hume matters that recur for us are growth-corridor feasibility in Craigieburn, Kalkallo and Sunbury — where the PSP, contributions and servicing sequence set the answer — and industrial and warehouse permits in the logistics belt, where truck movements, car parking and interface conditions are the assessment. Around the airport, we check the environs overlays before anything else, because they can rule out a use entirely.
Controls you'll commonly meet in Hume.
Every property is different — these are the zones and overlays that most often shape applications in this municipality. Each links to the current ordinance in the Hume planning scheme.

Questions we’re asked most.
If you have a question that’s not here, call us — we answer honestly, whether or not it leads to work.
- It depends where the land sits in the airport environs controls. Within the higher noise contours the scheme restricts new dwellings and noise-sensitive uses outright — deliberately, to protect both residents and the airport's curfew-free status. Outside those contours, standard growth-area rules apply. The contour maps, not the zoning alone, give the answer.
