The main entrance used by tall ships, yachts and tugs into the city's docks is set to re-open later this month following repair work.
The Canning River entrance gate closed in April to allow repair work following a hydraulic failure. The closure prevented tug boats, yachts and tall ships sailing into Albert, Canning and Salthouse docks.
The Canal and River Trust have now told the ECHO that the entrance is set to re-open on October 24. A spokesperson said that the repair work has improved safety features at the gate which would allow larger boats into the city's docks and canals.
