Can't find a park at the beach?
We know getting a parking spot at the beach on a hot day is like winning the lottery, so we've installed a temporary carpark at the end of Chieftain Esplanade, North Coogee. Remember, only dedicated carparks can be used and not verges or other areas as it blocks the view of oncoming cars and bikes which is dangerous.

CoSafe beach bike patrols

CoSafe & WA Police working together for better outcomes
Our CoSafe team has worked hard to develop a strong relationship with WA Police (WAPOL). CoSafe regularly shares statistics and reports with WAPOL to help plan police patrols, area targeting and to investigate crimes, ensuring the community receives the best support possible. Sharing of information has resulted in quicker response times for WAPOL and CoSafe, which means they can provide our community with a solution faster.
The City encourages the community to report incidents to WAPOL on 000 (emergency) or 13 14 44 (non-emergency) and CoSafe on 1300 267 233 (24 hours). |

Help STOP the exotic Qfly in Cockburn
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development has detected Queensland fruit fly (Qfly) in Coolbellup, Hamilton Hill, Samsom, Bibra Lake, North Lake and Kardinya.
Residents are asked to help stop the spread by not removing any home-grown fruit or vegetables from the area unless they are cooked or frozen, and to dispose of all ripe, fallen and fruiting vegetables every three days. Fresh (untreated) fruit must not be put in the rubbish bin, compost or fed to poultry.
Department staff are visiting properties within the area to arrange access to private yards for eradication activities including inspections, trapping, baiting and stripping of fruit. |

Child care premises, Beeliar
A child care centre was previously proposed on the same site and submitted to the City for determination, in which Council refused the application. This new application has been submitted to the Outer Metro Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP) for determination. The City of Cockburn is not the determining body for this application and this consultation provides an opportunity for comment only. |
