Project Update: September 2019

The City of Cockburn has been engaged in a community-led proposal to rename a section of Munster to Lake Coogee. Following consultation with the Munster community, the name was endorsed by Elected Members at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 8 August 2019 (OCM Minutes 8/8/19).

The proposal received approval from Landgate’s Geographic Names Committee, on behalf of the Minister for Lands, in September 2019.

The changes will come into effect on 30 March 2020.

What are the changes?

• The part of Munster west of Stock Road/Rockingham Road, east of the Lake Coogee lake, and north of Frobisher Avenue will be renamed Lake Coogee, and
• The part of Munster west of Stock Road/Rockingham Road, west of the Lake Coogee lake, and south of Frobisher Avenue will become part of Henderson

The part of Munster east of Stock Road/Rockingham Road will remain as Munster.
