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.

It is used for local sporting clubs including; the Landsdale Rockets Football Club, the Landsdale Lions Junior and Senior Cricket Club as well as a small tee ball club.
