Handover and records

The 10 mm per watering day figure is a Perth and Peel default for a two-day roster on sand, not a plant water requirement. Use it to compare stations against each other, and set the real run times from your hydrozoning.

Which case applies depends on your rainfall intensity classification and how the surface is finished — read the clause rather than assuming Perth sand always gets the most generous number.

Published July 2019 and written for registered builders rather than homeowners. The Building Act obligation it describes is still the operative one — but if the numbers matter to a dispute, confirm the current penalties with Building and Energy on 1300 489 099.

New paving levels, a raised garden bed, a bench, a pot or a new tree beside an existing compliant fence can all break the non-climbable zone. Treat any work near a pool barrier as a compliance item on the defect list, not a design detail.

American document from 2014. Ignore the winterisation material entirely, and read 'call 811' as Before You Dig Australia. Its three-year retention figure is a contractor's minimum obligation, not yours — a garden you live in should keep the record for as long as you own the block, and hand it over when you sell.

Written for non-residential facilities such as shopping centres, hospitals and caravan parks, so scale down the sub-metering and data-logging sections. Use the South West tables in Appendix 5 for Perth and ignore the Mid-West and North-West versions.

Written for river restoration and citizen science, so the permissions section about crown land, council land and river beds does not apply on your own block. Take the method and the datasheet and leave the context.

A commercial site and commercial penalties, but the material behaves identically in a suburban side setback. Photograph an open trench from ground level, standing back from the edge, with the spoil heaped on the far side.

Building and Energy publishes the forms; fees, lodgement method and any additional local requirements come from your local government, so confirm those separately.

The page publishes neither a fee nor a turnaround time, only that processing times vary with what and how much is requested. Confirm both with your own local government before you rely on it.

There is a separate table for the North West. Confirm you are reading the Perth and South West column before you copy the numbers into your manual.

Aim for 10mm per watering day is a Perth sandy-soil default for a two-day roster, not a plant water requirement. The bands are wide, so use them to sanity-check a catch-cup measurement of your own stations rather than as the final number in your manual.

Published in 2022, when the Perth and Mandurah bore roster was aligned to two days a week from 1 September 2022. The run-time table still matches Water Corporation's current page. One printing error to ignore: it states mulch depth as 5mm-10mm, which is wrong by a factor of ten — Water Corporation's own soil page says 5 to 10 cm. Check the free catch cup offer against the live Water Corporation site before relying on it.

The exemption is the only lawful way to water a newly planted garden with sprinklers during the June to August Switch-off. It ends on a fixed date calculated from installation, after which the normal roster applies — put that date in the manual, because the controller will not know.

The ratings describe established plants. Everything on the list still needs the full establishment schedule first, and the directory will not tell you when to prune — you have to write that yourself.

SERCUL is a Perth natural resource management body whose catchment is the Canning River and part of the Swan. The fertiliser rules apply across the Swan Coastal Plain. Choose the Grow Local Plants brochure that matches your soil region rather than your postcode — check it against the soil profile you dug in Phase 3.

Written for local governments at hectare scale. The timing rule and the test-before-you-feed principle transfer directly to a back lawn; the rates need converting before they mean anything to you, because 100 kg per hectare is 10 grams per square metre.

The directory also lists Victorian members, so filter by location. Endorsement means the business has been appointed to deliver the program, not that it is the cheapest or the most skilled designer.

This is a trade-facing page about the lodgement system, so parts of it (registration, AMR interstate licence holders, drainage inspection bookings) are irrelevant to you. Read it for the certificate of compliance obligations and ignore the rest.

The 1 July 2026 Class 10a change is recent and plenty of published advice, including council handouts, has not caught up. It removes the registration requirement, not the permit requirement, and it does not change home indemnity insurance thresholds. Verify against this page rather than an older article.

This is one retailer's own policy page, not an industry standard. Terms vary widely between Perth nurseries and tree farms, and advanced-tree suppliers often exclude plants they did not install. Read the specific guarantee of the business you buy from and file it with the invoice.

An industry association article, not legal advice, and it is general about disclosure obligations. If you are selling with a structure you cannot document, ask your settlement agent or a property lawyer before the contract is signed rather than after.

Written for river restoration and citizen science, so it assumes star pickets driven into a creek bank, GPS coordinates and a site nobody owns. On a suburban block a paver joint, a downpipe or a fence post does the same job as a photopoint post. Its advice to avoid bright sunny days and prefer bright overcast is honest but hard to follow in a Perth summer — the early morning or late afternoon alternative it also offers is the one you will actually use.

The moonrise and azimuth calculators want latitude and longitude rather than a place name; Perth city is about -31.95, 115.86, and your own block is close enough to that for this purpose.

This is the 2025 entry document and LIAWA reissues its terms, categories, fees and deadlines each year — confirm the current version before relying on any date in it. Entry is limited to financial LIAWA members, so as a homeowner you cannot enter your own garden. The value here is the standard and the permission model, and the fact that if your landscaper wants to enter your job they need your written consent first.

UK garden, UK light. Britain gets the soft overcast days he recommends for plant portraits most of the year; Perth gets them in winter and almost never between November and March, so plan around the hour rather than waiting for cloud. Sun direction is also reversed — here the sun tracks through the northern sky, so his descriptions of where the light comes from need flipping.

Written by a body whose members are selling agents, so the framing is urgency and market timing. Take the presentation list and ignore the season.
