The Shire of Broome has won a state award for its work on the Town Beach Foreshore Redevelopment project.

Representatives from the Shire travelled to Perth earlier this month for the Parks & Leisure WA 2020 Awards of Excellence, which recognises and celebrates the initiatives and efforts of ‘the people behind the places’.

The Shire claimed victory in the Playspace Award (> $0.5M) category, edging out competition from Whiteman Park, Manjimup, Claremont, Amberton Beach, Port Hedland and Shorehaven.

The Town Beach Foreshore Redevelopment is a $24 million project, jointly funded by the Shire and the WA State Government.

Shire of Broome president Harold Tracey said Town Beach had been transformed over the last 18 months and was a major asset for Broome.
