East Perth is an inner suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located next to the Perth central business district. Claise Brook and Claisebrook Cove are within the suburb. Formerly characterised by industrial land uses and urban blight, the redevelopment of East Perth was, and remains, the largest inner-city urban renewal project in the state. The design of the new residential neighbourhoods was strongly influenced by the new urbanism movement.

Soil zone · Karrakatta Sands

Pale yellow deep sands inland of the Spearwood zone. Well-drained, slightly acidic, generally easier to work than Bassendean.

Drainage: High
Water retention: Low

Irrigation strategyStandard pop-up sprays effective for lawn. Wetting agents valuable in summer. Drip preferred for garden beds.

Installation notesStraightforward trenching to standard depth. Stable backfill. Good substrate for valve boxes and manifolds.

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.
