The Shire of Broome undertook a review of its ward structure last year, which is currently made up of seven Broome Ward councillors and two Dampier Ward councillors.
This process was driven by community input and the Council resolved to keep the current structure.
However, the Shire has received correspondence from the WA Local Government Advisory Board, who have indicated another review should be undertaken before the 2023 Shire elections.
The reasoning for this is a perceived imbalance in the councillor to elector ratio, given the population of people living in the respective wards.
The Shire will update the community in relation to this process in due course.
