Broome against boom

The evening blaze is the cue for the tourist camel trains to lope along the beach and for an orderly traffic jam of four-wheel-drives to form in the sand dunes near the Cable Beach Club.

Much has changed since English lord Alistair McAlpine first succumbed to Broome's seductions, building the beach club and a zoo. But the town still has its high-profile guests. James Packer and his family reportedly were there this week, staying at media and mining machinery magnate Kerry Stokes's house.

The only town to escape the White Australia Policy, Broome has been a bohemian melting pot since the pearl divers from Asia - Timor, Japan, The Philippines - came more than a century ago to intermingle with the indigenous locals.

But there is dysfunction in Broome: some areas are infected with menace, where gangs of youths roam the streets because they can't go home.

But this is not the only trouble in paradise.

For environmentalists across the nation, Broome is rapidly shaping as the new frontier, a potential flashpoint of conflicting commonwealth and state ambitions. The federal government is being called on to use its pending heritage listing of the west Kimberley - Australia's largest heritage area listing - to rein in the perceived excesses of Colin Barnett's Liberal state government. The dispute is environmental, cultural, economic and indigenous; but stripped to its core it is confirmation that the resources-driven two-speed economy is finally knocking at Broome's door.

Long-time residents fear they are about to be swamped by an investment spike that the WA Premier proudly boasts he hopes will turn Broome into a new Dubai.

From afar it is easy to see this as being the price of progress. Like the opening to Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the intergalactic highway is coming through for the greater good. The plans have been with the Department of State Development for ages. It's no use moaning about it.

The highway, in this case, is Woodside Petroleum's proposed $35 billion gas hub at James Price Point, 60km north of Broome, which would process gas from the Browse Basin.

If it goes ahead, the project will dwarf the North West Shelf liquefied natural gas project that has already transformed Karratha.

Many locals and environment groups fear the gas hub is the thin edge of the wedge for Broome and the west Kimberley. With it will come associated industrial development such as fertiliser and explosives manufacture and possibly an aluminium refinery, all spewing a toxic cloud over Cable Beach and challenging Broome's unspoiled tourism image.
