Bayswater is a riverside suburb 6 kilometres (4 mi) north-east of the central business district (CBD) of Perth, the capital of Western Australia. It is just north of the Swan River, within the City of Bayswater local government area. It is predominantly a low-density residential suburb consisting of single-family detached homes. However, there are several clusters of commercial buildings, most notably in the suburb's town centre, around the intersection of Whatley Crescent and King William Street and a light industrial area in the suburb's east.

Soil zone · Bassendean Sands

Pale grey to white siliceous sands of the eastern coastal plain. Low organic matter, very high infiltration, and very low water-holding capacity.

Drainage: Very high
Water retention: Very low

Irrigation strategyFrequent short cycles outperform long soaks (water drains past the root zone). MP rotators and drip lines deliver more usable water than fixed pop-ups. Annual wetting agent application strongly recommended.

Installation notesEasy trenching. Anchor sprinkler bodies firmly - sand provides poor lateral support. Backfill compacts unevenly when wet.

Groundwater · Gnangara Mound

Large unconfined superficial aquifer covering most of Perth north of the Swan River. Primary garden-bore source for the northern suburbs.

Bore prevalence: Very high
Water table: 1-5 m

Bore considerationsDWER bore licence required. Most properties on sandy soils have viable shallow bores. Iron staining is common - filtration often needed. Subject to abstraction limits and metering rules.
