Environs Kimberley recently commented on the Shire of Broome - State of the Environment Report. Unfortunately the Shire's management of the environment is below the expectation of the community. This has been shown in consistent surveys over many years.

The State of the Environment report states that “…longstanding challenges remain in vegetation protection, stormwater infrastructure, fire management, and organisational capacity. Sediment levels flowing into Roebuck Bay have not shown a clear reduction, invasive weeds continue to spread, and gaps in governance persist. The community is increasingly seeking practical action, calling for not only policy development but also visible implementation, transparency, and accountability.”
