The Local Commercial Strategy was developed by the Shire of Broome to provide direction for commercial land-use planning in Broome over the medium to long-term. It has been developed to guide the location and size of future commercial development within the Shire.

The Local Commercial Strategy is based on a review of the Shire of Broome’s previous Local Planning Strategy and Local Planning Scheme No.6. It drew insights from local commercial enterprises, government and major facility operators, population trends and household and business expenditure data, to provide a new medium and long-term Commercial Land Strategy.
