Numbers Behind Recent Hobsons Bay Council Decisions in Altona
June 2026 meetings produced specific figures on approvals, contracts and fees affecting Altona residents and clubs.
How we reported this
Hobsons Bay Council approved seven three-storey dwellings at 55 Wren Street in Altona at its June 2026 meeting. The same session passed the Sports and Recreation Allocation Policy that triggers a 130% collective fee increase for sports clubs across Hobsons Bay including Altona. Separate contract awards set a $4.5 million price tag for Summerhill Road Reconstruction and locked in dates for the FOGO processing contract running from July 1 2026 to April 30 2029.
Housing and Road Contract Figures
The seven three-storey dwellings at 55 Wren Street represent the housing decision recorded in the June meeting minutes. Funding for the Summerhill Road Reconstruction was drawn from the 2026/27 Budget and directed to Unyte Southern Pty Ltd at the stated $4.5 million value. These allocations form part of the council’s documented capital and development program for Altona streets and sites.
FOGO Processing Contract Dates and Provider
Repurpose It Pty Ltd received the FOGO contract covering Altona. The agreement runs from July 1 2026 through April 30 2029, fixing the service period and the responsible organisation in the council record. The contract length and start date appear directly in the awarded resolution.
Sports Fee Increase and Park Upgrade Deferral
The 130% collective fee rise for Hobsons Bay sports clubs follows passage of the Sports and Recreation Allocation Policy in June 2026. A separate decision on upgrading Selwin Park Tennis Courts in Albion was deferred pending completion of a parking assessment and acoustic report, leaving the project without an approved timeline at this stage.
These recorded figures and dates supply the measurable elements of the June decisions. Residents seeking further information on the contracts or policy can review the published meeting outcomes through Hobsons Bay Council channels. Future updates will depend on completion of the required assessments and budget implementation steps already noted in the resolutions.
