Broome Makers: a community engagement initiative of the Broome Growth Plan

Written on the 10 May 2016

The Broome Growth Plan is part of the State Government's Regional Centres Development Plan (RCDP), funded by the Royalties for Regions program. The RCDP aims to bring self-sustaining, long-term growth to regional centres like Broome by stimulating business, investment and innovation. These towns have a crucial role as hubs for business, community and essential services, and their growth will bring ongoing benefits and opportunities to the surrounding regional areas.

The Broome Growth Plan is guided by the Broome Growth Plan Partnership (GPP), comprising the Shire of Broome, Kimberley Development Commission, LandCorp, the Department of Planning and the Department of Regional Development. The Broome GPP is responsible for decision making around the project and its objectives.

Crucial to the success of the Broome Growth Plan is the engagement of local businesses and community champions to drive local leadership. Broome Makers is an initiative of the Broome Growth Plan and it aims to bring together the various groups in the local community to build a common vision for the future of the region they can all work towards.

There are lots of ways to get involved, whether you're a business owner, a member of the workforce or a passionate resident.
