Consultation has concluded
Commencing on Monday 23 May 2022, LD Total (contractor) will replace the irrigation system within Harold Boas Gardens on behalf of the City of Perth. Weather permitting, works are due to be completed by Friday 29 July 2022.
Why are we doing this?
The current irrigation system has poor watering uniformity and does not meet the required industry benchmark of 85% distribution uniformity.
What are the benefits of this project?
The replacement irrigation system has been designed to ensure all gardens and turf areas can be irrigated independently (hydrozoning), ensuring that a high level water efficiency is achieved.
What can I expect to see during the works?
The works will involve the use of machinery including a directional drill machine and excavators. Trenches will be opened up each day to install the new pipework, backfilled and the turf replaced each day. Small areas of the park will be worked on at any one time so there will continue to be spaces for recreation.
How long will the works take?
The works are anticipated to take five weeks, subject to weather. The protection of the park and horticultural assets is key for this project. If ground conditions are not favourable for equipment movement, there may be some delays to the project.
Why are we doing this now?
The best time of the year to do these works is during the winter months when the weather is cooler.

The project is being delivered by the City’s Operations (Parks) team. Please mail PKSINBOX@cityofperth.wa.gov.au, or contact Blake Humble – Coordinator Parks Operations on 0427 107 850
