Did anyone from DevelopmentWA do an acceptance test by bicycle on this Waterbank shared path?

I have good news and I have bad news.
The good news is that the shared path around the Swan River at the Waterbank project (just next to the Causeway Bridge) is now open.
The bad news is that the ride quality of the path is - how can I put this? - pretty average. It feels like it has undulations and ripples. Not severe ripples and undulations - but enough to be noticed when you ride across at a reasonable pace. They certainly wouldn't be noticed if the testing was done on foot - this is something that be detected by cycling, not walking.
It's not terrible, but in my opinion, it's not as good as the other new shared paths that have opened up around the Perth metro area in 2025 - particularly those around the nearby Matagarup Bridge.
I did a "seat of the pants" test by riding from the DevelopmentWA offices in the CBD down the PSP to the Narrows, went across the Narrows and then used the new shared path in South Perth (near what was the departure point for seaplane flights to Rotto). South Perth Council (or their contractors) did a better job with the path surface than Waterbank.
I then continued on around the southern side of the river to the Matagarup Bridge. Most of that path is decades old now, and sections of it were built on the cheap and aren't very good - but the ride quality of the rest of the path is generally better than the Waterbank path.
The new shared paths around the Matagarup Bridge are generally excellent - first class (although the concrete surfaces on the bridges themselves leave something to be desired).
If DevelopmentWA staff need to hire bikes to conduct User Acceptance Testing, they can hire them from About Bike Hire (next to the Matagarup Bridge). No, I'm not associated with them - but I did hire e-bikes from them last year.
The people doing the User Acceptance Testing don't even need to ride around the river (in order to gauge how a path should feel) - they can just do a lap of the Waterbank site. The old path (that was used as a detour) is in pretty good shape and I think has better ride quality characteristics than the new section.
I also rode through the Claisebrook development (which has some truly awful sections of path) and past the East Perth Power Station site - the shared paths near the power station were ripped up and replaced earlier this year and again, they are better than the new Waterbank path. It's worth noting though that one section of path near East Perth train station wasn't re-laid particularly well, so it was ripped up and redone. The result is a high quality section of path that is pleasant to ride on.
In summary, if I was running the Waterbank project, I'd be ensuring that proper pertinent acceptance testing is carried out before paying the invoice. ("Pertinent" means testing a path that is designed for pedestrians and cyclists as both a pedestrian and a cyclist).

Did anyone from DevelopmentWA do an acceptance test by bicycle on this Waterbank shared path?
