Cockburn Central is a suburb of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia, and is 24 kilometres south of Perth’s central business district (CBD) along the Kwinana Freeway. Its local government area is the City of Cockburn, and it is intended by the Government to serve as a regional centre for the area. The new suburb came into existence after the newly constructed Kwinana Freeway cut off the western portion of Jandakot from the main part of the suburb, with the section west of the freeway becoming Cockburn Central. Cockburn Central contains the Cockburn ARC – an aquatic and recreation centre that houses the training facility of AFL club, the Fremantle Dockers.
