Armadale is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, within the City of Armadale, located on the south-eastern edge of the Perth metropolitan region. The major junction of the South Western and Albany Highways, which connect Perth with the South West and Great Southern regions respectively, is located within the suburb. It was once the terminus of the Armadale railway line, one of eight major railway lines to service Perth.

Soil zone · Pinjarra Plain (Alluvial Clays)

Coastal alluvial clays and loams. Moderate to high water retention but prone to surface runoff and seasonal waterlogging.

Drainage: Low
Water retention: High

Irrigation strategyLess frequent, longer-duration cycles. Drip irrigation preferred to avoid runoff. Cycle-and-soak programming reduces ponding. Avoid over-watering in winter and shoulder seasons.

Installation notesHeavy trenching - clay binds tools. Clay backfill compacts hard, can crush poly without bedding sand. Provide drainage at valve box base.

Groundwater · Jandakot Mound

Smaller unconfined aquifer south of the Swan/Canning Rivers, between the coast and the Darling Scarp. Supports the southern garden-bore network.

Bore prevalence: High
Water table: 2-6 m

Bore considerationsPublic Drinking Water Source Area (PDWSA) overlays restrict some bore activity. Iron and tannin in groundwater common. Drilling regulated under DWER.
