NORTH COOGEE LOCALS CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR NAME CHANGE AS COUNCIL SUPPORTS ‘CATHERINE POINT ’ Gabrielle Becerra Mellet PerthNow - Cockburn December 28, 2023 2:00AM 'Catherine Point has emerged as the new name of choice for some in the suburb of North Coogee after a previous attempt to rename it South Beach failed. 'The City of Cockburn has backed a proposal to split North Coogee and for the northern half to be renamed Catherine Point. A bid by the Catherine Point 'Community Group — previously known as the South Beach Community Group — for the South Beach name was rejected by the Geographic Names Committee and Landgate last year. 'The State Government body baulked at the proposal to rename North Coogee to South Beach, but at the same time showed support for the area south of the old South Fremantle Power Station to become Port Coogee 'Catherine Point is a significant nautical and geographical coastal landmark going back to the 1870s 'The Cockburn council voted 5-3 to support the new name and will send a submission to Landgate for consideration and, subject to support, public consultation' City of Cockburn Landgate #localgovernment #localcouncil #cockburn #namechange #perth #westernaustralia #regionalwesternaustralia #australia #regionalaustralia
