Notes:
Photo taken outside the council building in Joondalup.Born in 1931, Margaret Cockman OAM has lived in Wanneroo for her entire life. Margaret comes from one of the City's founding families and her old family home, Cockman House, is now one of the City's museums. Margaret has dedicated many years of her life to the local community, including more than five decades working in local government until her retirement in 1996. Without Margaret, many associations and community organisations in the cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup would not exist. Over the years, Margaret has been actively involved in, and even founded, several groups including the Wanneroo Country Women's Association, Wanneroo Agricultural Society and Wanneroo and Districts Historical Society. Margaret also co-authored and researched the book The Story of Wanneroo with Guy Daniel in 1979.Margaret was recognised for her community work in 1990 when she received the Medal of the Order of Australia and again in 2001 when she was awarded the Centenary Medal. She received the title Freeman of the City of Wanneroo in 1995 for her work in service of the community since 1946.
