🌱 Cross-team learning in action at the Shire of Broome At the Shire of Broome, we know that sharing knowledge across teams helps build stronger, more connected, and better-informed staff. At a recent all-staff meeting, our Parks and Gardens Coordinator delivered a fantastic session on local weed varieties and the Shire’s approach to weed management. From identification tips to control strategies, the presentation sparked great questions and new appreciation for the work of our outdoor teams. 💡 Knowledge-sharing sessions like this support collaboration, deepen organisational understanding, and highlight the diverse skills and expertise within our workforce. We’re proud to foster a culture of continuous learning — and to keep growing, together. 🌿

Working with the Shire of Broome is more than just a job – it’s about making a real impact in our community while growing skills along the way.   As part of a significant infrastructure project, a new roundabout features a unique landscaping design inspired by a traditional Japanese Zen garden – a nod to Broome’s rich Japanese heritage. The design includes Bauhinia Purpurea trees, white stone, and native Cyperus conicus ground cover – blending cultural significance with sustainable landscaping.   What makes this even more special is that the design was created in-house by one of the Shire’s own apprentice horticulturists, providing a valuable opportunity for hands-on experience and creative input.   We’re proud to support and invest in the next generation of local talent – creating space for growth, fresh ideas, and meaningful contributions to the place we all call home
