A small number of residents submitted a proposal to the Local Government Advisory Board (LGAB), proposing that the suburbs of Hamilton Hill and part of North Coogee (between South Beach and Port Coogee) be handed over to the City of Fremantle. The City of Cockburn rejected the proposal. In 2016, the LGAB called for submissions about whether the City of Fremantle should extend its border over the suburbs of Hamilton Hlil and North Coogee.
