It loves jets taking off and connecting our community to the world. It loves the jobs the airport brings to our town. Airports are great.” Mr Paul McSweeney, CEO of Broome International Airport (BIA) noted the following: BIA is thrilled to host you all again in Broome. It is very reassuring we have AAA beside us and advocating and supporting us. Today, Broome is the fastest growing airport in Australia. Up 17% after 5-6 years of passenger decline. We are thrilled and proud of what we’ve achieved. Most of the growth has come from oil & gas exploration & tourists. S92 helicopters now operating out of the heliport with 1,170 pax through the heliport this year. Heliport staff have gone from 6 to 23 to meet the demand of what was 8 helicopter departures per week now up to 80 (best week 118). Silk Airlines trial flights very exciting. We’ll be talking to Silk about making a permanent service. Have commenced charging commercial operators. Upgrades include new heliport, check-in, ABF facilities, new toilets as well as upgrades to Djarindjin. Additional $30K in discounted airfares by Qantas announces – a gamechanger for us. Djarindjin has increased staff from 6 to 36 – all indigenous. All involved are very proud of this venture. Broome has done it tough for the last few years, but we believe we have the best years ahead. 3.

  • Regionalising the State Infrastructure Strategy
    June 2021 Report to Infrastructure WA Regionalising the State Infrastructure Strategy Regional Strengths and Opportunities Assessment Interpreting this report . The regional strengths and opportunities assessment presented in this report has been based on a set of 71 indicators across seven economic and social development categories that help to assess the capacity of a region to host any one of the six opportunities that have been defined by Infrastructure WA in the State Infrastructure Strategy Vision. The suite of indicators provided the basis to profile each of Western Australia’s nine development regions and the Perth Metropolitan area in a consistent and objective way, but was also a critical part of the Multicriteria Assessment (MCA) framework to assess the relative strengths of each region and the capacity of a region to host any one of the six opportunities. The MCA framework applied individual weights to each indicator within each category, reflecting the importance of each indicator in assessing a region’s strength. When each indicator weighting is assessed against the category weightings that are applied to each opportunity, there are some 426 individual weighting that form the MCA framework. The key limitation of this analysis was the data that was available at a regional level, including in relation to the measurement of agricultural land capacity, water availability, industrial and commercial zoned land, numbers of Aboriginal businesses, telecommunications, renewable energy generation capacity, major projects under consideration, and tourism visitation. These data gaps limit the ability to assess specific industry opportunities at a regional level. Notwithstanding the data limitations, ACIL Allen’s assessment provides an objective, transparent and robust assessment of a region’s strengths as they apply to the opportunities identified in the State Infrastructure Strategy Vision.

The downturn in all aviation activity across Australia and internationally may have a significant impact on the analysis, outcomes and projections used in this report. It is noted that the downturn in aviation into Pilbara region has not been as significant as at aerodromes in the Eastern States due to the fly in fly out (FIFO) resource sector. The Airspace Act 20071 (Act)2 provides the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) with the authority to administer and regulate Australian-administered airspace and authorises CASA to undertake regular reviews of existing airspace arrangements. The Office of Airspace Regulation (OAR) within CASA has conducted an airspace review within 100 nautical miles (NM) of Coondewanna Airport (Coondewanna). This area is referred to as the Pilbara Region for the purpose of this review. The aim of the Pilbara Region review is to determine if the airspace remains fit for purpose.3 The review examined the airspace architecture, classifications, procedures and infrastructure from the surface up to Fight Level (FL) 180.

The Association is an independent, membership-based group representing and supporting the work and interests of 138 Local Governments in Western Australia. The Association provides an essential voice for over 1,200 elected members and approximately 15,000 Local Government employees as well as over 2.5 million constituents of Local Governments in Western Australia. The Association also provides professional advice and offers services that provide financial benefits to the Local Governments and the communities they serve. For Local Governments in remote parts of Western Australia, efficient, cost effective air services that ensure accessibility for residents, visitors, workers and service providers underpin the economic and social sustainability of the region. For this reason, Local Governments and the Local Government Association value this Inquiry and the opportunity to provide a submission. As part of a range of considerations in relation to tourism, in March 2017 the WALGA State Council endorsed a policy to advocate that the State Government undertake measures to reduce the cost and improve the scheduling and routes of regional air services.
