Cockburn Police Station & Quarters is representative of buildings constructed for the Police Force in the 1960s, and is representative of a period when the residential quarters for the Officer In Charge and the operations of the police station were incorporated within one site. Cockburn Police Station & Quarters is associated with the development of Coolbellup and represents the need to establish a permanent base for police operations in this suburb.
Cockburn Police Station & Quarters has a tiled pitched roof (Swiss pattern), and brickwork wall. The Station included three offices and a storeroom.
During the 1960s Coolbellup’s population grew quickly with families moving into modern brick houses on large blocks provided at low cost loans by the state government. A number of flats were constructed in the area, and a shopping area was constructed in the middle of the suburb. A Police Station and Quarters were planned in 1961-62, and work commenced in 1962. The Station was opened by the Minister for Police, J. F. Craig, on 24 September 1962.
