As a regional WA centre, school choice is more limited than Perth metro areas, and families should verify current catchment boundaries with the Department of Education WA.
Likely public catchment
Properties in Broome are likely zoned for Broome Primary School (primary) and Broome Senior High School (secondary) under WA public catchment zones.

Flood Risk
Broome is located in a cyclone-prone tropical region with significant exposure to storm surge, king tides, and cyclonic flooding from Roebuck Bay. While a formal state-level flood overlay system is less developed in WA than in QLD/VIC/NSW, local planning controls and flood studies address tidal and storm surge inundation risk, particularly for low-lying residential and commercial precincts adjacent to the coast and tidal waterways.
Planning Controls
- •Storm surge and cyclonic flood risk assessment required for developments in low-lying coastal areas
- •Building design standards for tropical cyclone wind and water ingress in flood-prone zones
- •Mandatory freeboard and floor level requirements for habitable buildings in mapped flood extents
- •Consideration of King tide and climate-change-adjusted sea-level rise in planning assessments
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-LOW
Broome is located in a semi-arid coastal area of Western Australia with relatively low bushfire risk compared to southern WA regions. The sparse, scattered vegetation and low fuel density typical of the Kimberley climate result in minimal BAL ratings. Properties in Broome are unlikely to fall within designated Bushfire Prone Areas under DFES mapping.
Crime & Safety
Broome experiences above-average crime rates compared to Western Australian benchmarks, particularly for assault and theft offences. The township's seasonal tourism fluctuations and transient population contribute to reported crime levels. Crime trends have remained relatively stable over recent years without significant increases or decreases.
