The&nbsp;river foreshore is highly valued&nbsp;and used&nbsp;by the&nbsp;local&nbsp;residents&nbsp;of Dalkeith, Nedlands, Crawley and Claremont as well as the wider Perth&nbsp;community.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW3782363 BCX8">This area of&nbsp;river foreshore&nbsp;is unique and&nbsp;varies considerably along its length from large open
