South Lake is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia in the City of Cockburn.

History

The suburb's name was proposed by Taylor Woodrow Homes Builders and the City of Cockburn in March 1982 after a previous suggestion (Oxley) had been rejected because of duplication. It is situated to the south of North Lake, hence the name. The suburb name was approved in August 1982.[2]

Geography

It is bounded by the freight rail line to the north, the Kwinana Freeway to the east, Berrigan Drive, Semple Court and North Lake Road to the south and North Lake Road to the west.[3]

Facilities

Education

The suburb contains two schools: South Lake Primary School and Lakeland Senior High School.

Recreation

Pools, aquatic and gym facilities are located at Cockburn ARC, which opened in May 2017.[4]

The Cockburn ARC replaced the South Lake Leisure Centre. The centre will be transformed into a facility for the adjacent Lakeland Senior High School.[5]
