The deep-water jetty is 2,292 feet (700 metres) long. It is a steel and concrete construction with a reinforced concrete deck cast over composite steel beams supported on steel girders which are in turn supported on hollow tubular steel piles. Broome’s deep water port and jetty were opened in 1966 by the Premier Sir David Brand. It cost over $3 million. Cyclone Rosita in 2000 damaged the jetty. After that the Port offices at the end of the jetty were relocated to a new facility at the shore end of the jetty.
