Willetton
City of Canning · WA 6155
Willetton is a large southern suburb of Perth, Western Australia. Its local government area is the City of Canning.
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 · Jandakot Mound
Smaller unconfined aquifer south of the Swan/Canning Rivers, between the coast and the Darling Scarp. Supports the southern garden-bore network.
- Bore prevalence
- High
- Water table
- 2-6 m
Bore considerationsPublic Drinking Water Source Area (PDWSA) overlays restrict some bore activity. Iron and tannin in groundwater common. Drilling regulated under DWER.
