Local Governments Receive Funding for Shoreline and River Restoration Projects
What happened
The Cook Labor Government's Riverbank Program is investing over $1.1 million in local government projects aimed at protecting and restoring the Swan and Canning rivers. These projects include revegetation, weed control, and foreshore erosion management. Specifically, a hybrid revetment is being constructed at Coffee Point in Melville, and the Town of East Fremantle is receiving $195,515 for river wall replacement.

Why it matters
The funding supports practical environmental outcomes and strengthens the long-term health and resilience of the Swan and Canning rivers. The program also supports ongoing restoration efforts, such as the City of South Perth's project, and guides future enhancement works through the City of Nedlands' foreshore masterplan.
