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.

It has an area of 504 square kilometres, and in June 2018 it had a population of 224,394.[1] The City was formed on 15 December 1994 after the amalgamation of most of the City of Broadmeadows, the Shire of Bulla and parts of the City of Keilor and City of Whittlesea.

The City was Australia's 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]
