As our largest employer, Hume City Council recognises the significance of Melbourne Airport and its contribution to Hume City.

The Federal Government’s approval of a third runway will unlock opportunities for Melbourne Airport’s growth.

While Council supports the airport’s growth, it believes that this development can and must occur in a manner which minimises potential adverse effects on the community.

Council encourages Melbourne Airport and the Federal Government to continue to provide and explore innovative noise and health measures to minimise and mitigate aircraft noise.

With Melbourne Airport’s growth, the need to deliver on key infrastructure is higher than ever.

We continue to call on the State and Federal Government to provide clarity and commitment to the timing and delivery of the Bulla Bypass, which will alleviate pressure on one of Melbourne Airport’s key arterials, Sunbury Road.
