Our vision for Hume Central

Broadmeadows Town Square

Hume Central’s town square aligns with the State and Federal Government’s focus on supporting the delivery of best-practice investment in urban infrastructure, connecting people and communities to services and opportunities that improve liveability and inclusion.

The Square aligns with the State and Federal Government’s focus on enhancing affordable housing in designated activity areas, promising a synergy of residential growth and vibrant community life. Council has allocated over $6 million to its four-year capital program. It is seeking a similar contribution from the State and Federal Government to deliver this project. This town square will be a cornerstone for social cohesion in an economically challenged area, offering place-making activations and substantial employment opportunities. Its development is not just an investment in infrastructure but also in the community’s spirit, supporting social interaction and cultural celebration in a safe, accessible, and lively environment.

Project outcome

Construction of Hume Central’s town square, a key element in transforming Broadmeadows into a bustling, multicultural activity centre. The project promises significant job creation during construction and ongoing community events.

Broadmeadows Car park

The proposed phased development of a new Broadmeadows Car Park addresses the growing need for accessible infrastructure to support the revitalised town square and community spaces. The initial phase involves constructing a ground-level car park, with plans to expand vertically as demand increases. This pragmatic approach balances immediate needs with future scalability. Situated near the Broadmeadows train station, a major transport hub, the car park’s design will adhere to sustainable principles, ensuring an eco-friendly and efficient solution for increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Development of this car park is key to ensuring Hume Central’s accessibility, functionality, and overall success.

Project outcome

Delivery of this car park is essential to the accessibility and functionality of the surrounding community spaces, contributing significantly to the overall success of the Hume Central precinct.
