A new sporting field is coming to North Coogee, and we want to hear your thoughts on the draft plans for stage one. 

What has happened so far?

In 2018 the City of Cockburn started renewing its Community, Sport and Recreation Facilities Plan. The plan aims to identify and address the community’s sport and recreation facility needs for the next 10 years.  

The City consulted with residents, community groups, sporting clubs and key stakeholders to identify Cockburn’s top priorities. Community feedback highlighted among other things, strong demand for a new sporting oval and community building on the City’s coastline.

A new sporting field is coming to North Coogee, and we want to hear your thoughts on the draft plans for stage one. 

What has happened so far?

In 2018 the City of Cockburn started renewing its Community, Sport and Recreation Facilities Plan. The plan aims to identify and address the community’s sport and recreation facility needs for the next 10 years.  

The City consulted with residents, community groups, sporting clubs and key stakeholders to identify Cockburn’s top priorities. Community feedback highlighted among other things, strong demand for a new sporting oval and community building on the City’s coastline.  

Council subsequently endorsed the provision of a new facility within the North Coogee Shoreline Estate development area. In 2020, the City sought further feedback from residents, community groups and sporting clubs to understand how this new facility could look and function.  

The City used feedback to prepare a draft design. We are now seeking final feedback on the draft plans for stage one. Stage one includes a new sporting oval, car park, playground, and other supporting amenities.  

About the draft design (Development Application - Lot 505 Cockburn Road, North Coogee)

View the draft design in the Document Library.

Key features include:

  • An oval and rectangular shaped sporting field to accommodate different sports
  • 38-car parking bays, including landscaping
  • Footpath connection to McTaggart Cove (Development WA are providing a temporary footpath connection along the western edge of the site)
  • Modular toilet amenity
  • Fencing on the perimeter for site security and to contain sports balls
  • Pre-lay of site services for the future building and sports standard lighting
  • A water tank (required to minimise saltwater intrusion on irrigated water due to the shallow 20m bore depth), which will incorporate public artwork
  • Preservation of the Heritage Fig Tree corridor (to be guided by arborist advice)
  • Landscaping.

Should construction costs be favourable, the City also aims to deliver (in order of priority):

  • Nature playground
  • Cricket nets
  • Carpark lighting
  • Sports standard lighting

The City will develop plans for Stage Two (community and sports building) later.
