Well, that was fun!

Almost 200 of you turned up, braving the weather, beating drums, chanting slogans, and hearing the sacred bells of St George's Cathedral ring out, loud - and (very, VERY) long - in a divine chorus of 'unity', with our Endangered Black Cockatoos crying out across the Cathedral grounds!

Incredibly - a pair of Carnaby's circled the Cathedral, before settling in a pine tree, watching from above, as we set up the event.

Truly. Inspiring. Stuff.

We thank EVERYONE who respectfully made sure North $toneville's landowners, the Anglican Church hierarchy, will never, ever, ever, be able to say - 'We didn't realize the gravity of our dangerous and destructive North $toneville plan...'

Special thanks to Adam Hort MLA, Amanda Dorn - Animal Justice Party MP and Paige McNeil President Shire of Mundaring for spirited and supportive speeches of the need to protect our unique environment, and our increasingly bushfire-vulnerable Community.

On the eve of the most critical hearing in our 34-years of fighting North $toneville, our Community called out Archbishop Goldsworthy and Church Trustees for supporting a plan to bulldoze 60,000 centuries'-old trees - home to Endangered Black Cockatoos, and replace them with a potential firetrap plan that could endanger 3,000+ residents - and the rest of us.

All Kudos to our amazing Community for standing under umbrellas, standing tall - and most of, standing true and strong, in our relentless efforts to save Perth Hills...

Church Rally - 14th September

Save Perth Hills clock is ticking...

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...
