How Aveley
was built
Aveley's development reflects a transition from its earlier rural character, with some pre-1970 dwellings still present, through to a period of growth in the 1970s-2000s. The suburb is now largely defined by a dominant master-planned estate build-out that commenced in the 2000s and continues to the present day. This modern development has occurred on the area's characteristic Bassendean Sand topsoil over Guildford Formation clay, a reactive sub-base that influences many of the structural considerations for properties here. This geological foundation, shared with neighbouring areas in the Swan Valley corridor, means that settlement cracking is a common finding in our inspections across different eras of construction in Aveley.
