Midland is a suburb and historic town of Perth, Western Australia, located 15 km (9.3 mi) northeast of Perth's central business district. It is the administrative seat and commercial centre of the City of Swan local government area. It is also a designated strategic metropolitan centre for the larger Perth metropolitan area.

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 · 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.
