History

In the late 1990s, Landsdale began to develop from market gardens and small rural lots into residential development. Until 1997–1998, prior to the separation by the City of Wanneroo of the suburbs of Darch and Madeley, Landsdale enclosed a much larger area extending westwards to Wanneroo Road.

Facilities

The main commercial precinct is known as Landsdale Gardens and includes most of the facilities of the area, such as a small medical complex, the Warradale centre (named after Warradale Park), parks and reserves, lakes, walking trails, Landsdale Forum shopping centre as well as two schools, Landsdale Primary School which was built in 1998 and Landsdale Gardens Adventist School.

The Warradale Centre (named after nearby Warradale Park on Southmead Drive) is used for community events and includes a club room and change rooms as well as a canteen, parking and toilet facilities. It is used for local sporting clubs including; the Kingsway Rockets Football Club, the Landsdale Lions Junior and Senior Cricket Club as well as a small tee ball club.
