The Town agreed to support the concept, pending their satisfaction with the chosen route, development design, cost, materials used and environmental impacts.
The concept involves the development of a 25km long boardwalk to run through the City of Fremantle, Town of Mosman Park, Town of Cottesloe, City of Nedlands, Town of Cambridge and City of Stirling.
The incorporation of shade shops stops and strategic seating, as well as water fountains and additional toilet facilities, will also be considered.
