Lisa ThomasWestern Suburbs Weekly

NEDLANDS foreshore will be restored under a $1.2 million project between the City of Nedlands and the Department of Parks and Wildlife.

The project, which will begin this month and be rolled out in two stages, will include construction of a rock revetment wall and landscaping from the Sunset Foreshore and the Tawarri Reception Centre.In the second stage, repairs will be made to the river wall, from the worst sections from the Tawarri Reception Centre to the Perth Squadron Yacht Club groyne.

Nedlands Mayor Max Hipkins said the work could be progressed because of partial funding from the Department of Parks and Wildlife, with the balance being allocated in the city’s annual budget.
