C2030 Broome - Disadvantaged Youth & Social Programs

Tess White from a youth social action group, Midnight Basketball presented a topic on the importance of investing in young people. Her group, Midnight Basketball have a unique program that delivers specialised education to disadvantaged youth via way of community engagement on topics such as health, home economics and how to find a job.

The importance of this topic at the C2030 Broome summit was particularly relevant in the Kimberleys and Broome where there are higher than average numbers of disadvantaged youth scarred by drugs, alcohol and a lack of education.

C2030 Broome – Western Australian State Infrastructure Development & LNG Precinct

Anne Nolan, head of the newly formed Department of State Development discussed future planning for Western Australian state infrastructure with particular focus on the LNG Precinct at James Point during the C2030 Broome summit.

·         Living standards will be impacted by future development

·         Development has to be sustainable & responsible

·         Western Australia has massive resource potential

·         There is a world class wilderness area to consider in the Kimberleys

·         A holistic focus must drive development

·         Land must be secured for aboriginal communities

·         Currently, the drivers in the Kimberleys are too narrow – pearling, fishing, tourism & agriculture

·         Scientific research must lead any development activity

·         The overarching theme must be about community

·         A special development package is being developed for the east Kimberley

·         There will be big projects for a big state

·         Kimberley LNG is a world class gas reserve

·         Browse Basin is a site for the future

·         Significant work went into identifying the right site with James Price Point being selected as the most appropriate

·         Roads, infrastructure & services must lead development of the gas resource

·         Enormous business opportunities

C2030 Broome - Community Summit with a focus on the future of Broome

Being a regular visitor to Broome does nothing to overcome the very real sense of isolation & remoteness that one feels during the descent into Broome after the two hour plus flight north from Perth.

There is certainly no shortage of real estate going begging in this region. In fact quite a few European countries would fit comfortably into all the empty space around Broome.

Blessed with significant natural resources including oil and gas as well as being a stone's throw from Indonesia, Broome is right in the middle of a very interesting geographical and economic region.

Tomorrow I'll report on the ideas and viewpoints of politicians and business leaders as they attempt to articulate a future vision for Broome and the Kimberleys at the C2030 summit.

Government media release regarding C2030

Brendon Grylls, Minister for Regional Development in Western Australia, put out a media release to highlight the C2030 summit and said the Community 2030 (C2030) Summit had been developed to engage community, government, industry and business in ‘big picture’ dialogues, ranging from the city foreshore to housing affordability in Broome.

Mr Grylls said the summits would also drill down into the actions and resources needed to get the projects moving.

“The summits offer a real opportunity to guide and support planning for community infrastructure in Western Australia,” he said.

“C2030 is about asking the tough questions, thinking outside traditional parameters and really listening to what the people of WA want in terms of everything from transport to community infrastructure, like recreational facilities.

 “It’s also about looking long term to ensure future generations, both in the metropolitan area and the regions, can grow and prosper.”
