The new Northern Beef Development Centre in Broome is now open for business, bringing together expertise dedicated towards building WA’s northern beef industry.

The centre includes the Department of Agriculture and Food’s Northern Beef Futures (NBF) Broome operations staff, the executive officer of the Kimberley Cattlemen’s Association (KCA) and project staff from the Water for Food Royalties for Regions project.

Andrew said that the Kimberley Cattlemen’s Association and the Northern Beef Futures project are working collaboratively to benefit the industry and he was delighted that KCA Executive Officer, Catherine Marriott, is also based at the centre.

The KCA is a not for profit industry development organisation, established to represent, support and contribute to the development of the pastoral and agriculture industries.
