Amazing News

AMAZING NEWS - the Statutory Planning Committee has approved the RURAL RESIDENTIAL plan for NORTH PARKERVILLE. Instead of 730 suburban homes it will be 67 rural blocks.

Imagine casting your eyes down Roland Road... On one side you have rural residential and on the other side we have the continued uncertainty of $atterley’s URBAN SPRAWL DISASTER... which looks more out of date and irrelevant than ever!

The WA Dept. of Planning has said NO to urbanisation ‘in this location’ because it’s an ‘outdated’ planning approach.

By arrogantly pushing, pushing, pushing, Satterley and the Anglican Church Diocese continue to be out of step with:

-         Fire safe planning,

-         Regard for the environment and;

-         Contemporary planning in general

They are wasting taxpayer AND Mundaring Shire ratepayer $$$ in the process.

Well done to Eastcourt for 'reading the room', sensing what is right and putting forward a plan everyone can get behind.

$ATTERLEY HAS THE HILLS IN HIS SIGHTS

Did you know that proposed North Stoneville is ONE of several ‘proposals’ that $atterley has for the unique Perth Hills?

Not content for leading the urban sprawl of Perth city, $atterley wants to spread Perth’s sprawl even further - into the last bastion - Perth’s Hills…

The problem with sprawl is that it is you and me who has to fund the schools, hospitals etc and then the maintenance of the roads, water, power and more looooong after the developer has cashed out and moved on (Grange in one hand and UDIA award in the other).

Save Perth Hills recognises that allowing proposed North $toneville to proceed will open the gates for more of the same. Make no mistake people, North $toneville MUST be stopped.

What we need is smarter, safer planning.

Because... once it’s gone, it’s gone!

New Planning Scheme

Save Perth Hills

This is something Save Perth Hills has been working towards for 5 long years…

Council acceptance that the Shire’s important Local Planning Scheme 4, (LPS4), has been failing us all for way too long.

SPH gave a passionate deputation to Council outlining how LPS4 was contributing to potentially dangerous and destructive outcomes - eg - North $toneville urbanisation, as it lacked any relevancy for today’s realities such as increasing bushfire risks and environmental sensitivity. And Council agreed!

Hail LPS5… it will take time - but it will mean a safer and more sustainable approach to planning in the future.

Paige McNeil President Shire of Mundaring

This Echo Newspaper article has prompted Community members to ask me what Council’s decision means for planning in the Shire of Mundaring. Simply put, it’s positive news! Council agreed that our Shire’s current Local Planning Scheme is outdated and no longer fit for purpose. We’re seeking WA Planning Commission approval to create a new and contemporary Scheme that aligns to our Community’s expectations and our growth opportunities.

Creating a new Scheme is a large piece of work. It will offer Community input into improvements, zonings and land uses, to ensure our new Scheme meets our future needs, supported by infrastructure, bushfire risk management and environmental protection. Importantly, our new Scheme will define appropriate, sustainable development and housing choice in our Shire!
