Bassendean SandsGnangara Mound727 mm rainfall (2024)19.4 km from Jandakot HQ

Mount Lawley is an inner northern suburb of Perth, Western Australia. The suburb is bounded by the Swan River to the east, Vincent, Harold and Pakenham Streets to the south, Central Avenue and Alexander Drive to the north, and Norfolk Street to the west.

Mount Lawley

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.
