Landsdale, WA
By Lauren McCaleb · Reviewed by Dylan Duncan ·
Landsdale is an outer northern suburb of Perth, in the City of Wanneroo, Western Australia. For most of its history it was a district of market gardens and small rural holdings on the city's fringe, and it kept that semi-rural character well into the 1990s. From the late 1990s the market gardens gave way to housing estates, and Landsdale grew quickly into a mixed suburb of homes, shops and light industry. Its everyday hub is the Landsdale Gardens precinct, with the Landsdale Forum shopping centre, parks, lakes and walking trails close by, while the Perth International Telecommunications Centre occupies the suburb's eastern end. Several primary schools serve the area's young families.
