31/05/22 Update on Rock Revetment Construction - Trinity Shared Path

Work on the limestone rock revetment is almost complete.

The City of Perth (City) strives to protect our local trees during construction of projects and enhance our local environment through the design. One great benefit of the rock revetment is the protection of our existing trees by preventing soil erosion around their roots from the river waves. These trees provide the City with a great number of environmental, human health and social benefits, including reducing the surrounding temperatures.

To ensure the protection of our trees throughout the design and construction process, a consultant arborist has ensured superior care was taken when working around the trees. To help minimise the damage done to tree roots, a special excavation technique called vacuum excavation was used. This allowed all trees within the site to be unharmed.
