The most significant hearing in our 34-years, starts September 15 in WA's State Tribunal. So much is on the line...

But let's talk about the 'value' of those 60,000 irreplaceable, healthy, Black Cockatoo-supportive Jarrah and Marri trees facing obliteration beneath the bulldozers of $atterley and Perth's Anglican Church... (Archbishop Kay Goldsworthy – reeeeaaallly?)

SPH has done the maths using Premier Cook's own Treebate Refund calculation.

60,000 trees at $150 each, means North $toneville’s trees are worth a whopping 9-MILLION DOLLARS.

That's almost two years' worth of Treebate refunds.

The simpler, safer and sensible solution is to activate the 5-year-stalled SPH and Mundaring Shire applications to Rezone North $toneville back to Rural. No WA Govt agency or Department objects to the Rural Rezone, btw.

Archbishop Goldsworthy can develop her land ‘respectfully’, thousands of trees will survive, the Cockatoos' habitat will be protected, a safer bushfire planning approach can be applied, and we can ALL send $atterley, with his 1990s firetrap plan, and his bulldozers, packing back to Peppermint Grove.

It’s simple: Honour the value of what can never be replaced... these 60,000 trees, standing tall – sucking up the carbon and supporting Cockatoos, for centuries, in Stoneville...

Hot on the heels of FAILING to silence Save Perth Hills’ Expert Bushfire witness - Dr Ken Strahan, $atterley Property Group has NOW FAILED to secure a 3-month DELAY in the hearing of its bushfire dangerous and environmentally destructive North $toneville plan.

A 3-month delay could’ve pushed the hearing deep into 2026… and into the 35th year of WA’s longest running local Community issue.

Dr Strahan’s expert observations (that Satterley FAILED to silence), revealed that $atterley’s Bushfire modelling could've been tested under an updated bushfire program called ‘Vesta Mark 2.’

, $atterley tried to convince WA’s State Tribunal that it needed 3 MONTHS to test the updated program, despite DFES needing just 2 DAYS!

SPH lawyers, and the State Solicitors’ Office, opposed the 3-month extension, so $atterley ended up with just 3 WEEKS, which means a mid-September appeal hearing start.

However… (Dum roll) ....

WHY was $atterley so keen to PROLONG the hearing - given $ATTERLEY IS ADVERTISING NORTH $TONEVILLE FOR SALE on its website!

Under ‘LAND FOR SALE’ $atterley claims ‘North $toneville’ is ‘Coming Soon’… Their arrogance knows no bounds...

But wanna know their BIGGEST EPIC FAIL (so far!) ???

Despite 9 years' tormenting our Community, $atterley reckons 'North $TONEVILLE' - yes - 'STONEVILLE' - is in MUNDARING.

They have NO IDEA where we are!

Any suggestions to point them in the 'right' direction?

URGENT! PLEASE SHARE...

Two chances to Save the Black Cockatoos with 2 x two-minute actions. Get in before it's too late. The Black cockatoos need us to be their voices!


1. BEFORE TOMORROW, choose 'Assess - Public environmental review' to stop Newmont Gold mine disturbing over 1,500 hectares of Jarrah Forest (this will bring their total to over 8,000 hectares cleared of the world's most biodiverse temperate forest). Link: bit.ly/Newmont-Expansion-EPA 

Comments could include:

• The area is part of the world's most biodiverse temperate forest, which is already threatened with ecological collapse from climate change and mining.

• The forest is home to many species threatened with extinction, including three species of black cockatoos. The Ngloyenok (Carnaby’s black cockatoo), the Ngolak (Baudin’s black cockatoo) and the Karak (Forest red-tailed black cockatoo)

• It can take up to 200 years to grow trees with hollows suitable for black cockatoos to breed. Offsets do not add to the habitat and result only in further decline of endangered species.


2. BEFORE FRIDAY, say 'YES to a Controlled Action' to stop a further 50 hectares of ancient breeding trees being crucial to the survival of the Ngolyenok (Carnaby's black cockatoo). Link: bit.ly/Katanning-Gold-EPBC

Comments could include:

• Eucalyptus woodlands in the Western Australian wheatbelt are a Critically Endangered Ecological Community, listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Just 6% of this habitat is left in the area and it has an extremely high risk of becoming extinct.

• The Woodlands provide vital habitat for many species to breed, some of which are now threatened with extinction, such as the Ngolyenok (Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo).

• It can take 200 years for the trees to grow big enough for suitable hollows, and they cannot be replaced with a plastic cockatoo tube.

3. Before you forget, tag a friend or three and comment under the post to help with the algorithms, so that more people have an opportunity to comment.

Thank you from Save the Black Cockatoos
