HistorySince the gradual resumption of land over the various feeder lakes, and more recently the East Perth redevelopment in the late 1980s, the stream has become a mainly underground catchment and drainage system and no longer exists as a stream in the normal sense. The stream and cove were initially called Clause's Brook and Clause's Lagoon respectively, however these names appear to have been dropped soon after European settlement: an 1851 newspaper report spoke of the establishment of an abattoir at "Claise Brook".[2] They were named after Frederick Clause who was a naval surgeon that accompanied Captain (later Admiral Sir) James Stirling in their expedition up the Swan River in March 1827. Botanist Charles Fraser who was on the same expedition described the lagoon in his journal:[3]
Since the latter half of the 1800s until the mid-1980s, the area around Claise Brook and Claisebrook Cove was used for mainly industrial purposes and the water quality and surrounds were badly degraded. During this period it was also widely referred to as Claisebrook Drain. In the late 1800s and early 1900s it had become an effluent outlet into the river.[4] In 1906 the Claisebrook and Burswood Sewerage Treatment Works was built.[5] Sewerage was pumped across the river from Claise Brook to ponds and filter beds on Burswood Island. East Perth Gasometer and East Perth Power Station were prominent structures there for many years during the 1900s, both on the northern side of the river outlet. Prior to the redevelopment from the mid-1980s, a major environmental remediation project was undertaken to remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminated soils created by the East Perth Gas Works which operated there from 1922 to 1971.[6] The plant produced gas from coal. Remediation included dredging of {{convert|6|ha|spell=in}} of adjacent riverbeds and removal and treatment of {{cvt|10,000|m3}} of soil. RedevelopmentThe precinct surrounding the Cove is now known as Claisebrook Village[7] and is now mainly residential. The Cove is now a heavily landscaped artificial inlet of the Swan River overlooked by residential buildings and bars, cafes and restaurants. Facilities include moorings and jetties for recreational boating and Trafalgar Bridge which is a pedestrian footbridge which crosses the cove. Crossing the river nearby is Matagarup Bridge, Goongoongup Railway Bridge and Windan Bridge which carries road traffic from the Graham Farmer Freeway.
