C2030 Broome - A bright future for the region & its' people

The theme that really emerged from the C2030 Broome summit was that people matter. Infrastructure and development will proceed only if they meet the needs and desires of the people.

Many of the attendees at the Broome summit have long, deep, rich and diverse cultural histories in the region and this provided a strong feel for the event. From these cultural histories have emerged a growing hotbed for visual and performing arts even in the absence of any significant supporting infrastructure.

With a community focus, great natural resource wealth and a truly creative people, Broome & the Kimberleys look set for a very bright future.

C2030 Broome – Housing, Accommodation & Affordability

Talking points at C2030 Broome on housing & affordability were presented by Kathleen Gregory, Foundation Housing, Rowena Strain, Homeless Action Group & Antoine Bloemen, Kimberley Magistrate

Some of the points that arose were –

The Kimberleys & Broome in particular have the highest rate of homelessness in Western Australia

·         There is a real need for different styles of housing & accommodation that is sensitive to the cultural background of the potential inhabitants

·         Broome is in a catch 22 situation where land prices on new releases are artificially inflated by controlled supply to support existing housing prices

·         There is no denying the massive availability of land

·         Construction costs in the far north of Western Australia are very high

·         Container homes with a ‘Broome Design’ may be part of the solution

·         The situation is dire & needs immediate attention

C2030 Broome – Big Ideas for Broome & the Kimberleys

Talking points at C2030 Broome on some big ideas for a big region were presented & debated by Nick Belyea, Broome international Airport, Carol Martin MLA, Member for the Kimberley, Sue Thom, Cable Beach Club Resort, Bill Reed, Linneys, Peter Yu, Yawuru man from Broome & Professor Lyn Henderson-Yates, Notre Dame University

Some of the interesting ideas & observations included –

·         Better infrastructure & facilities needed for a burgeoning tourist population. A simple but necessary requirement is for more toilets on the vast expanse of highways & roads throughout the Kimberleys

·         Broome has the potential for a regional hub status, being closer to Singapore than any other Australian centre & being close to the tourist mecca of Bali

·         There is significant scope for a large hotel complex at Willy Creek or Baobab Beach

·         There could be a fast ferry service from Broome to Bali

·         Better sports facilities for the youth in the area

·         A museum & art centre in Broome to celebrate the rich, cultural history of the area & to add to the already flourishing arts & cultural movement that is growing & gaining traction in the diverse, multicultural environment

·         Better educational facilities for the growing population and specifically for the disadvantaged

·         Move the Broome airport

·         Build a marina complex with at least seven stories in Broome

·         Build a fast rail link between Perth & Kununurra

·         Modify the structure of the political controls that allocate resources in the region

·         Bring the people up to the Kimberleys, don’t worry about taking the water to Perth
