River consult

BAYSWATER council will hold community pop-up sessions at Riverside Gardens and Tranby Reserve over the next fortnight as it looks for feedback on how to manage its river foreshores.

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 Riverside Gardens, Hinds Reserve, Tranby Reserve, Bath Street Reserve and Bardon Park.

The 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.

The council has launched a survey with interactive maps to provide feedback on favourite locations, access points, areas for improvement and other information.

The survey is up at engage.bayswater.wa.gov.au/foreshore-restoration-design-project and submissions close Monday August 26.
