The Swan Canning Catchment is made up of the Swan and Canning rivers, catchments and estuaries, including the Ellen Brook and Brockman River to the north, Wooroloo Brook and the Helena River to the east and Southern River and Wungong Brook to the south. The Perth Metropolitan Area dominates the region's social and economic life.
