Ward Boundaries Review - Your Input Sought

The Shire of Broome is seeking your input as the Local Government Act (1995) requires the Shire to conduct a review of its ward boundaries and the number of councillors in each ward. Currently there are seven Councillors representing the Broome Ward and two Councillors representing the Dampier Ward.

Do we have enough Councillors or too many? Are you happy with the ward boundaries? Would you like to create new wards? Perhaps you think the wards should be renamed or the Shire should be known as the Town of Broome. Or is the current structure just fine?

Download a copy of the discussion paper and submission form. Copies are also available from the Shire Administration Centre or can be viewed at the Broome Library

All Submissions should be sent to the Chief Executive Officer, Shire of Broome before 12 Noon Wednesday 5 November 2008
