Welcome to this special publication from Business News focusing on Broome, the Dampier Peninsula and the West Kimberley region.
Part of an ongoing series focused on the state’s north-west, this feature highlights the business and investment environment in a remote region known for its tourism but with plenty more to offer.
The magazine provides locals and state leaders with an insight into those behind major projects, the names to watch in terms of social and economic clout, and community and business leaders’ priorities.
This special feature comes at an interesting time for Broome and surrounds as major commercial and industrial projects come online, creating both fresh opportunities and new challenges.
In compiling this publication, Business News has sought to provide context to the broader issues, detailing the many reasons to travel to and invest in the region.
With so much talk in parliament and on St Georges Terrace about the financial might of the Pilbara, it is also important those holding the policy and purse strings are reminded of the significant potential the Kimberley offers people looking north to live, work, play and invest.
This publication would not have been possible without the support of the Broome Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which has provided valuable insight for the publication and hosted Business News in Broome for the recent Commercial Growth and Investment Forum.
Thanks also to: Kimberley Mineral Sands and Mount Gibson Iron, both of which hosted Business News on site to assist with stories; The Millington Broome, which provided accommodation during our stay; and the Western Australian Indigenous Tourism Operators Council for additional photos.
