Cocos Islands, External territory in Indian Ocean, Australia.
The Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands consists of two atolls with 27 coral islands, located 2,770 kilometers northwest of Perth, Australia.
The islands transferred from British to Australian control in 1955 through the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Act, establishing new administrative structures.
The Cocos Malay community maintains its traditions through a seven-member Shire Council that manages local affairs and community services.
Western Australian laws apply to the territory through the Territories Law Reform Act 1992, with services provided by the Indian Ocean Territories Administration.
The territory shares an administrator with Christmas Island and belongs to the electoral division of Lingiari alongside parts of Northern Territory.
