Cottesloe is a western suburb of Perth, Western Australia, within the Town of Cottesloe. Cottesloe was named for Thomas Fremantle, 1st Baron Cottesloe, a prominent Tory politician and the brother of Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle, for whom the city of Fremantle was named. The nearby suburb of Swanbourne was named for the Fremantle family seat, Swanbourne House, in Swanbourne, Buckinghamshire.

Soil zone · Spearwood Sands

Yellow-brown sands over Tamala limestone at varying depth. Free-draining with mildly alkaline pH from the underlying limestone.

Drainage: High
Water retention: Low

Irrigation strategyModerate cycles work well. Plant selection should suit alkaline pH. Standard pop-up and rotor systems are effective.

Installation notesLimestone often hit at 300-800mm depth - plan trenching accordingly. Rock saw or hand pick may be required. Consider above-ground manifolds where rock is shallow.

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.
