About Munster

In January 1830 land at Woodman Point was set aside for a townsite to accommodate new settlers. the town was named Clarence and a large lake near its centre, "Lake Munster" (now Lake Coogee). In later years this name was applied more to the area north-west of the lake, while the rest of the area became known for postal purposes as "Woodman Point" and "South Coogee in the 1950s. Munster was officially adopted as a suburb name in 1954.

In 2019, the City of Cockburn approved a carve-up of Munster, whereby the north-western part of the suburb would become the new suburb of Lake Coogee while another part, in the south-west, would be added to the suburb of Henderson. Only the eastern part of Munster would remain part of the existing suburb.
