one of Perth’s richest suburbs

I checked it on Google Maps.
The streets in question are running in parallel to the waterfront, with the houses being build to have direct access to the water.
So it boils down to people building their houses in a beautiful area just to later complain that other people are also drawn to that area (because that is where you will go for recreation).

Reminds me of examples from my home country of people moving to the tiny traditional rural villages because they are so quaint, and then making court appeals because the church towers are chiming regularly (as they have done for the previous 500 years) or that the farmers fertilize the fields behind their house using liquid manure twice a year.
