Overview

Cook is a compact Belconnen suburb in Canberra’s north, home to 2,965 residents according to the 2021 Census. Named for Captain James Cook and former Prime Minister Sir Joseph Cook, its streets honour notable Australian women, giving the area a distinct cultural flavor. The perimeter signs often become canvases for local graffiti, adding an informal, artistic edge to the neighbourhood.

At the heart of Cook lies a small shopping centre with the Cook Grocer supermarket, Little Oink coffee shop, To All My Friends bar, Jina’s Hair Salon and Prestige Oysters fishmonger, plus a public toilet. The former primary school now operates as the Cook Community Hub, complemented by a preschool and school park that serve families. Residents also benefit from nearby facilities such as the Jamison Centre shopping mall, Big Splash waterpark and National Health Co‑op, while primary and secondary schools in Aranda and Macquarie lie within a kilometre.
