Overview

Cook is a residential enclave in Canberra’s Belconnen district, housing 2,965 residents according to the 2021 Census. The suburb honors both Captain James Cook and former Prime Minister Sir Joseph Cook, while its streets celebrate notable Australian women, giving the area a distinct sense of history and community identity. Local colour is evident at the suburb’s perimeter, where signage often becomes a canvas for graffiti artists.

At the heart of everyday life is a compact shopping centre that hosts the Cook Grocer independent supermarket, Little Oink coffee shop, To All My Friends bar, Jina’s Hair Salon for men and Prestige Oysters fishmongers, alongside public facilities. The former Cook Primary School now serves as the Cook Community Hub, complementing the on‑site preschool and school park, and providing a focal point for families and neighbours.
