Precinct Plans – Register your interest to be involved

Published on 11 July 2022

The Shire of Broome is about to embark on a review of the development strategies for Cable Beach and Chinatown/Old Broome.

The review of these development strategies will result in the preparation of two new precinct plans for the Cable Beach and Chinatown/Old Broome Precincts.

A Precinct Plan is a planning tool used to guide areas that have been identified for more intensity of development to ensure they are carefully planned, designed and developed to achieve good building, open space and transport outcomes.

The development of the precinct plans may result in changes to the Shire’s existing planning controls and we want the community to be a part of the process. 

There will be several ways the community can get involved; information on dates and times will follow:

• Visioning and values – An opportunity for you to share your thoughts and ideas on what you value about these areas and your vision for the future.
• Design development – An opportunity to provide input and feedback on design concept options for the precincts which would be incorporated into the precinct plans.
• Draft precinct plans – An opportunity to provide feedback on the draft precinct plans when they are advertised for public comment.

While every stage of the engagement is important, we strongly encourage people to participate early when there is the greatest possible opportunity to help shape and inform the preparation of the precinct plans.
