HUME CITY COUNCIL, VIC. — The council has partnered with car-share provider GoGet to deliver a 12-month trial across three locations.
The trial launched this month and will provide residents with a flexible, affordable and sustainable transport option, giving them access to a vehicle when needed without the ongoing costs and responsibilities of car ownership.
Three dedicated GoGet vehicles are now available at:
- Grand Boulevard / Millicent Drive, Craigieburn;
- Clarendon Avenue, Craigieburn; and
- Sahi Crescent near Roxburgh Park Station, Roxburgh Park.
Once registered with GoGet, members can book a vehicle for an hour, a day or longer, with fuel, insurance, registration and maintenance included.
“This trial is about giving people more options when it comes to getting around and making it easier to access a car when they need one,” Hume City Mayor, Cr Carly Moore, said.
The locations were selected in partnership with GoGet, focusing on areas with higher residential density, commercial activity and access to public transport.
Car sharing helps reduce reliance on private vehicle ownership and supports more efficient use of parking and urban space. The trial is part of the council’s commitment to exploring smarter transport solutions as Hume’s population continues to grow.
“We’re excited to see how residents use the service over the next 12 months and look forward to using the results of the trial to help shape future transport initiatives across our city.”
Council will monitor usage, community feedback and local demand throughout the trial to help inform future transport planning and assess opportunities for expanding car share services across Hume.
