How Eden Hill
was built
Eden Hill, located north of Bassendean on the Swan floodplain, saw significant residential development from the 1970s through to the 2000s. This period reflects Perth's eastward expansion, with many homes built as brick-veneer-on-slab stock. The suburb's position on the floodplain and its underlying geology of Bassendean Sand over reactive clay have influenced its development patterns and the types of building challenges observed over time.
