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.
