Connecting South Lake: Tile Art Project
In 2021 Connecting South Lake resident group partnered with City of Cockburn to install a new BBQ at Lakelands Hockey and Sporting Facility. The group specifically requested that it be suitable to use in an art project in 2022, here's why:
"We created the community connection art project to celebrate the suburb of South Lake turning 40, whilst still acknowledging the 40000+ years that the Traditional Owners have lived and cared for the land. We have been hosting events with residents to paint the tiles all around South Lake, along with sausage sizzles. The artwork itself will be displayed around the BBQ at Lakelands Reserve. We are hoping to have enough tiles after the Connecting South Lake Christmas fair, and will install the artwork shortly afterwards."

| Register your dog or cat before 31 October
All dogs over three months old must by law be registered and microchipped. Cats over six months old must registered, microchipped, and sterilised. Registration is due by 31 October, and we offer lifetime, three yearly or annual registrations.
Why do I need to register & microchip my pet?
- If lost, our rangers have a better chance of returning your pet safely
- We can provide the right type of services & facilities for your pet
- It is the law and fines over $200 may be issued.
Don’t forget that your pet needs to be microchipped by a vet before they can be registered. Your pets microchip details are stored on a national database which helps our rangers to return your pet if it’s lost. To retrieve the microchip details, please call your vet.
Already registered your dog or cat?
If you move house or change your contact details, please remember to inform the City by emailingrangers@cockburn.wa.gov.au
Register by 31 October at www.cockburn.wa.gov.au/dogcat |
