City of Cockburn - Wetlands to Waves

Population forecast web tool

It is with great pleasure that the City of Cockburn officially launches its forecast.id web tool. This is a very powerful web based population and demographic analysis system, which provides a detailed insight into how the City of Cockburn will look and change into the future. It can be accessed via the following link: http://www.id.com.au/forecast/cockburn
 
These population and household forecasts are provided for every year until 2031 (future census year), and are designed to provide useful information for community groups, investors, local businesses, students and the general public. The tool is very easy to use, with a key objective being to present data in simple, clear tables and charts with concise factual commentary. The City of Cockburn hopes you enjoy using the tool to understand how our community will be changing into the future.

The Cockburn Recycle Shop

Household items that would have previously been crushed under a landill compactor are being given a new lease of life, thanks to a new recycling shop at the Henderson Waste Recovery Park.

The Recycle Shop is another way the City of Cockburn is ensuring products are being re-used to their maximum potential, instead of going to landill. Landill staff remove items from the waste stream, check for re-use potential, and then value and display them for sale.

People who may miss the annual junk verge collection can take items to The Recycle Shop for the cost of a trailer pass, when delivering other waste. Visits to The Recycle Shop are free-of-charge if not delivering any rubbish.

The Recycle Shop is open 8.30am to 4.30pm, Fridays to Sunday and Monday public holidays.
