  • Mundaring with Images
    There’s more to Mundaring! This month’s Feature Blog centres around Mundaring – The Heart of the Perth Hills Mundaring Weir and the No 1 Pump Station is often the first thing that comes to mind when people hear the word Mundaring. Steeped in history and a little bit of controversy, Mundaring Weir is one of Western Australia’s most significant historical sites and the world’s most incredible engineering feats, built by C.Y. O’Connor in the 1890s to pump water from Mundaring to Kalgoorlie, almost 600km away. The No 1 Pump Station, located at the foot of the Weir, now serves as a museum where you can learn more about the project and the life of C.Y. O'Connor. Surrounding Mundaring Weir is the Mundaring Weir Interpretation Precinct, where you can also discover fun facts about the history of the project via signs and sculptures nestled amongst play equipment, picnic tables and barbeques. Starting at the No 1 Pump Station is The Golden Pipeline, a 650km driving adventure that follows what was, at the time of its completion, the longest freshwater water pipeline in the world. Taking three to five days, the trail follows the pipeline taking in historical sites and natural wonders along the way. For those that would like to stay closer to the Weir, we recommend the walking trail between Perth Hills Discovery Centre to Golden View Lookout in Beelu National Park, providing breathtaking views of Mundaring Weir. Other trails in Mundaring include the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail a unique 41km loop entirely on railway formations.

  • Heritage List
    HERITAGE LIST The purpose of this Heritage List is to identify places that are of significant cultural heritage value and worthy of conservation. Modification or additions to a place on the Heritage List will usually require planning approval and may require referral to the State Heritage Office. Place records are available from the State Heritage Office ‘inHerit’ database at www.stateheritage.wa.gov.au There are many places of varying heritage value identified in the Shire’s Municipal Heritage Inventory (MHI). Only places of high significance are included on the Heritage List (e.g. high degree of integrity/authenticity, rare or outstanding example, very important to the history of the locality). The level of significance is one of the matters that the Shire will consider in making a decision on an application for planning approval, or in undertaking work on Shire owned/managed places of heritage value. Refer to the Shire’s Local Planning Scheme No. 4 and Heritage Planning Policy for more information, or contact the Shire’s Planning Service on 9290 6740. The heritage places are listed below in alphabetical order by locality.

  • Landscape Description Precinct 143.47 MB
    Precinct 14 Helena River – Swan River Confluence to Mundaring Weir 1 Summary Helena River – Swan River Confluence to Mundaring Weir The Helena River has been dammed at the Mundaring Weir to supply the Kalgoorlie water pipeline. In the summer months, the lower Helena River channel is reduced to a series of pools and exposed dry river bed. Often central islands of clay are exposed as the braided pools dry up. In summer, the river channel is only one to five metres across while in the winter months, the waters swell to fill the entire flood plain which at maximum is 100-200 metres across. Around the Hazelmere and Midland areas, several wetlands have formed adjacent to the river and are fed by both natural and artificial drainage lines. The granite outcrops which are characteristic of the Darling Range often cause small waterfalls and eddies created by the disturbance of the water over the protruding rocks. The Mundaring Weir is a spectacular water body which appears as a large, long and narrow lake which fills the Helena Valley up to the dam wall. The Helena River passes through a range of landforms. At its confluence with the Swan River, the landform is a flat fluviatile plain which grades into the gently undulating ancient dunes of the surrounding areas. At the base of the Darling Range are the lateritised foothills which form fans in front of the linear belt of lateritic uplands of the Darling Scarp. Along the lower Helena River much of the native vegetation has been removed for grazing and urban land uses.
