Bassendean SandsGnangara Mound672 mm rainfall (2024)41.2 km from Jandakot HQ

Joondalup is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, approximately 26 kilometres (16 mi) north of Perth's central business district. It contains the central business district of the regional City of Joondalup and acts as the primary urban centre of Perth's outer northern suburbs.

Joondalup

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.
