Community Safety Plan 2025-2029
The Shire of Broome’s vision is to be a place where there is a future for everyone – a place where people of all ages, abilities and cultures feel safe to enjoy Broome-time, our special way of life.
To create the Community Safety Plan, the Shire of Broome engaged with representatives from government and non-government agencies, businesses and the community. 1,190 community members completed a MARKYT® Community Scorecard, 401 stakeholders completed a Community Safety Survey, and 11 participants attended community workshops.
We extend a special thanks to the Community Safety Working Group for their involvement and support in preparing this plan.
Over the next four years, we are committed to being a voice for the local community and working with key partners to deliver priority projects outlined in this plan.
Together, our aims are to:
1. Expand youth diversion programs to reduce crime
2. Reduce use, harm and effects from alcohol and other drugs
3. Enhance law and order with more effective policing, safety patrols and community surveillance
4. Improve public safety with enhanced infrastructure and environmental design
5. Improve access to general and mental health services for those at risk
6. Reduce the incidence of, and impact from, family and domestic violence
7. Improve access to safe, affordable accommodation for everyone
8. Strengthen collaboration between service providers
9. Improve community engagement and awareness of safety services, programs and key message
