Statement of Significance

History
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.
