The document outlines the planning changes required in Sunbury and Diggers Rest to accommodate the region's rapidly growing population.

Sunbury has been listed as one Melbourne's four metropolitan growth corridors.

At a meeting last week, Aitken ward councillor Drew Jessop said the council held serious concerns about some aspects of the vision for Hume.

"If we prepared these sort of planning documents for the public, I think we'd get a fail," he said.

"When we're long gone, people will be looking at these [documents] wondering how the hell they got through council, state government or GAA."

While the Growth Corridor Plan earmarks a significant amount of land across the Hume corridor for development, providing new community facilities and transport would be the council's responsibility.

"How can you not have the government commit to infrastructure?" Cr Jessop said.

"We have to provide certainty for the future and this does not [do that] without things like community infrastructure and town centres."

Cr Ann Potter was critical of the lack of forward planning.

"A concerned resident rang [the council] and said a [connector] road was going to go through their property. That's the way the government designed it. We don't agree with it, but do we have any choice at the end of the day? There's no mention of a Bulla bypass or [any] proposal that would be able to substantiate the amount of traffic that would come from [our] industrial area."

Merri ward councillor Burhan Yigit said the government was committing the council into providing tens of millions in infrastructure costs.
