Backing the Kimberley in Canberra 🤝 The Shire of Broome recently joined fellow Kimberley local governments through the Kimberley Regional Group (KRG) for a productive visit to Canberra. Together, we met with ministers, shadow ministers, senior advisors, and departmental officials to advocate for the needs and aspirations of our region. Key priorities we highlighted included: ▪️ Housing supply and affordability ▪️Land release for development and investment ▪️ Community safety and crime prevention ▪️ Emergency and disaster preparedness This visit reinforced the importance of regional collaboration, allowing us to present a united voice on the Kimberley’s shared challenges and opportunities.
Land release? Sounds like more ecological destruction !
It was certainly a worthwhile visit and the collegiate advocacy between all the Kimberley Regional Group’s local governments was impressive
