Broome’s Cable Beach redevelopment receives $9 million boost

Broome’s Cable Beach Foreshore Redevelopment has secured an additional $9 million in funding for the next stage of work to transform the foreshore into a globally recognised waterfront precinct.

The extra Western Australian Government investment will support the second stage of the project, which is also funded by the Federal Government.

The Shire of Broome is leading the delivery of this project, building on the successful completion of the Town Beach and Chinatown projects. Josh Byrne and Associates led the detailed design of the project, which was completed from 2021 to 2023.

A Community and Stakeholder Reference Group was established to act as a conduit to the community and provide input during the detailed design phase.

Delivered in three stages by the Shire of Broome, the redevelopment includes a new promenade, amphitheatre and activation spaces, including kids and youth playgrounds.

Other features include upgraded car parks and public transport facilities, a water play park and improved beach accessibility.

The redevelopment is set to attract greater private investment in accommodation and amenities in the broader Cable Beach tourism precinct, boost visitor capacity and improve beach accessibility, including for elderly and disabled visitors.

The project is also focused on improved environmental sustainability through a reduction in coastal erosion risks and rehabilitation of sand dunes.
