‘WE'RE STILL HERE!’ And the stakes have never been higher. Satterly and his Anglican church mates want to chainsaw 60,000+ trees, bulldoze habitat for our critcally endangered black cockatoos and are pushing on with their urban sprawl proposal from the 90's. Worst of all, bringing urban sprawl into the hills threatens our community's ability to safely evacuate in the event of fire.

This community has stood strong for over 30 years and we're only getting stronger. So what are you doing on the 23rd Feb? You're grabbing your mates, your neighbours, the kids, your awesome signs and your BIGGEST VOICE

Standing strong is what our community does best and we are united to keep the hills, the hills because "once it's gone... it's GONE!"

Over 3,800 of you are following our page so you know what to do... tag, comment, share and indicate you'll be coming along.

There is MASSIVE interest in our campaign to safeguard – not endanger, our bushfire prone community - and to protect – not destroy our unique biodiverse Perth Hills environment.

See you Sunday 23rd February, at 10am – at Sculpture Park, Mundaring – to let Nigel and the Anglican Church know, ‘WE'RE STILL HERE!’!

Tanya needs to Act...

Nigel $atterley’s Federal ‘environmental approval' to BULLDOZE 60,000 TREES and Endangered Black Cockatoo habitat on proposed North $toneville, AND his FAR FAR AWAY Cockatoo 'offset' 184-kms in Williams' wheatbelt wilderness, is for...110 YEARS.

We thought it must be a typo. It's not.

Nigel's approval is until 2134, when Nigel will be, say,180 years old.

Waaaaay more important is that the last Carnaby's or Baudin's Black Cockies, will likely fall dead from their artificial hollows a mere 20 years or so into this outrageous century-plus approval - victims of chronic habitat loss, that Nigel, and North $toneville’s Anglican Church landowners, including, sadly, Archbishop Kay Goldsworthy, are helping to inflict. We believe this is the LONGEST-EVER environmental approval under Australia’s outdated ‘EPBC' Act.

We ask: Why has the Federal Govt handed an UNPRECEDENTED 110 YEARS’ environmental stewardship to Australia’s biggest private land developer to bulldoze environment of a species on the brink of extinction, then give that developer 110 YEARS to repent?

We ask: The Anglican Archbishop of Perth Kay Goldsworthy - will you come to watch the 60,000 trees being bulldozed, then pray for the displaced Cockies?

We ask: Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek - PLEASE hasten your consideration to 'REVOKE' the approval – surely made in error, by your South Australian delegate, on your behalf?

And we ask ALL of our AMAZING SUPPORTERS: PLEASE DONATE to help us Save Perth Hills. Every little bit helps...

We’re 100% Community funded and need to pay for lawyers in our fight against Satterley. This is NOT over. We have 9 months before the Tribunal Appeal to determine the 34-year battle we're waging for our Community... but we need your help - and lots of it

Christmas brings reflection.

So let’s rewind 130 years, when Queen Victoria ‘gifted’ 550 hectares of land to Perth’s Anglican Diocese – the Church’s Real Estate Business office.

The Church calls the land ‘North $toneville’ - the Diocese’s Biggest Business Embarrassment.

As our Community rolls into the 34th year of resisting the Church’s dangerous and destructive townsite plan for this land, Anglican Archbishop, and Diocesan Trustee, Kay Goldsworthy, has released her 2024 Christmas message:

...‘Manifest Kindness’...

We googled ‘manifest kindness’ – it's ‘trusting the divine process’.

So, as trusting souls, here’s SPH’s Wish list to help Archbishop Kay manifest much kindness over Christmas – and beyond...

• Be Kind - Don’t put more than 3000 people, knowingly, in the line of fire – literally

• Be Kind - Don’t bulldoze 60,000 trees (some 200 years & older)

• Be Kind - Don't destroy Endangered Black Cockatoo habitat

• Be Kind - Don't explode an entire Hill to force the land to be ‘compliant’ with your firetrap plan

• Be Kind - Don't ignore warnings from science, Government, Community, and from within your own faith, that tell you this land is too dangerous to urbanise

• Be Kind - PULL THE PIN on ‘North $toneville’ because, as Archbishop – you can.

• Be Kind – Heed your Church’s 5th Mark of Mission: ‘Strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and sustain and renew the life of the Earth’...

But. In the spirit of Christmas – the KINDEST ‘gift’ of all would be for the Anglican Church to ‘RE-GIFT’ the land - to the Community.

Indeed, Archbishop Kay, that would be THE most magnificent, authentic Random Act of KINDNESS, you could EVER deliver our Community and the Environment, of ‘North $toneville’...

Merry Christmas everyone – thank YOU – sincerely for ALL your support....

See you in 2025!
