What matters for landscaping & gardening in Perth

  • A domestic garden bore drawing from the shallow superficial aquifer to irrigate under 2,000 square metres does not need a water licence, but it is still bound by the roster and the winter switch off. Perth groundwater often carries enough dissolved iron that it rusts on contact with air and leaves orange staining on limestone walls, render, paving and fences. Iron levels vary block by block and cannot be predicted before drilling.

  • On WA's beaches the distance from breaking surf decides the correct steel. BlueScope allows standard ZINCALUME or metallic COLORBOND for roofing only beyond 200 m from breaking surf, and COLORBOND Ultra from 100 m. For walling the thresholds are far stricter at 1,000 m, 800 m and 500 m. Scarborough, Trigg, City Beach, Cottesloe and Hillarys routinely fall inside those bands, so a quote written for standard Colorbond can be wrong for the address.

  • Through Perth's coastal and western suburbs the dune sands sit on Tamala Limestone, often close to the surface, and that limestone is karstic with solution channels and cavities. Digging for a pool, a deep soakwell, a retaining wall or pier footings in those suburbs can hit rock needing a rock saw or hammer attachment, which is a materially different price from digging sand further east. Ask whether the quote includes rock.

  • Single houses across Perth are assessed against the state Residential Design Codes, which local governments administer. Setbacks, outbuildings, patios and boundary walls are a council question, so get the R-Codes position from the council before a builder draws anything.
