The City is calling for community feedback to help inform how it will manage the river foreshore and continue to provide much-loved green and recreational spaces for community to enjoy into the future.
Project sites include Riverside Gardens and Hinds Reserve in Bayswater, Tranby Reserve and Bath Street Reserve in Maylands, and Bardon Park in Maylands.
As part of its 10-Year Foreshore Plan, the City is working with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions and specialist consultancy Syrinx Environmental to develop foreshore restoration designs for these key locations along the Swan River.
This project aims to conserve and enhance natural ecology and cultural heritage, stabilise the riverbank, formalise connections and access to the river, and undertake future planning for public infrastructure and recreational areas.
Community members are invited to complete a survey and/or use interactive maps to provide feedback on favourite locations, access points, areas for improvement and other information.
The City will host community engagement pop-up sessions at each project site throughout August.
