Buckland Hill Reservoir is situated in Mosman Park, Western Australia, 11.5 kilometres (7.1 mi) southwest of the Perth central business district. The covered reservoir is the most westerly in the Perth metropolitan area. The reservoir was originally filled with water from Perth's hill dams and features a water treatment plant. In 1935 Buckland Hill supplied water to the area from Fremantle to Claremont.[1][2]
The reservoir position has sweeping views of Rottnest Island, Garden Island and the Port of Fremantle and mouth of the Swan River to the west, and Lucky Bay and Bicton and East Fremantle to the east.
