Overview

Hume is a light‑industrial suburb on the edge of Canberra, named after explorer Hamilton Hume, with its streets honoring Australian industrialists and businessmen. The 2021 Census recorded 395 residents – a rise from six in 2006 – driven primarily by the construction of the Alexander Maconochie Centre. Because the prison dominates the population, 92.7 % of permanent residents are male, and the suburb contains little residential development.

Despite its industrial focus, Hume benefits from several nearby facilities: the Alexander Maconochie Centre lies within 2 km, while Petrov’s Bridge and a heliport provide road and air access. Tralee Airport, a former speedway, the Mugga Lane Solar Park and Jerrabomberra High School are all within a short drive, offering practical amenities for workers and the small community.
