The regional cities and centres of {{VICcity|Wodonga}}, Shepparton and {{VICcity|Wangaratta}} (supported by {{VICcity|Benalla}}) function as a network of regional hubs that service their own distinct sub-regions. The region is bounded by the Victorian Alps in the south and east, the New South Wales border defined by the Murray River in the north, the Loddon Mallee region in the west and the Greater Melbourne northern, western, and eastern metropolitan and Gippsland regions to the south.{{cite web |url=http://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planning/plansandpolicies/ruralandregionalplanning/regionalgrowthplans/hume-regional-growth-plan |title=Hume Regional Growth Plan|work=Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure|publisher=Government of Victoria|date=5 August 2013|access-date=21 January 2014 }}
