Precinct Structure Plan

The Shire of Broome has been planning for the future of Cable Beach and Chinatown/Old Broome through the preparation of Precinct Structure Plans. 

A Precinct Structure Plan is a planning tool used to guide future land use, subdivision and development in key areas to ensure good building, public realm and transport outcomes are achieved.

The Precinct Structure Plans have been prepared following extensive community and stakeholder engagement throughout 2022 and 2023.

The draft Precinct Structure Plans for Cable Beach and Chinatown/Old Broome, and the associated Scheme Amendment (proposed changes to the Shire of Broome Local Planning Scheme No. 7) were adopted by Council at the November 2023 Council Meeting to seek Minister approval to commence public comment.
