Ex Dept of Fire & Emergency Services (DFES) Chief says ‘NO’!

When one of WA’s top Emergency Chiefs says NO - it means NO.

Tomorrow, Dr Wayne Gregson will stand up at our Community Rally, and SAY NO - AGAIN to dangerous urbanisation of North $toneville.

Wayne was WA Assistant Police Commissioner, AND he was DFES Commissioner during the 2014 Stoneville-Parkerville-Mt Helena bushfires.

Also a local Hills resident, Wayne understands the DANGERS and RISKS of a plan like North $toneville.

When someone like Wayne says NO – we MUST LISTEN.

Over 32 YEARS our local Community, Mundaring Council, DFES and Planning Commission have ALL said NO.

Now Wayne says NO too.

See you TOMORROW, 10am, Sculpture Park, Mundaring, to hear why Wayne will SAY NO - AGAIN - and add YOUR voice to end North $toneville forever.

Cookie Cutter urban estates DO NOT belong in the Perth Hills. It makes NO sense to destroy 550 Hectares of natural habitat for urbanisation! Allowing urban North Stoneville to proceed will literally pave the way for urban North Parkerville... The hills as we all know them would never be the same again... Once it's gone... IT'S GONE...!

Urbanisation on this scale surrounded by farmland and forest will be a dangerous Fire Trap.... and with thousands of additional people to evacuate in the event of a fire, this proposal would cost lives if it were ever allowed to be built. We MUST send the message, AGAIN, that North $toneville CANNOT proceed.

All Save Perth Hills Rallies have been HUGE and this one is shaping up to be our biggest yet... We have an incredible line-up of speakers who you won't want to miss.

Now... WHO is coming with you? We reckon you should bring ya mates, your partner, your kids, your neighbours to all show up to Save Perth Hills! It's all happening at Sculpture Park in Mundaring THIS Sunday the 5th Feb from 10-11

Essential Items to have with you - it's gonna be a warm one... Hat Water bottle Your voice! Any spare cash to donate Sun screen

Chair or picnic blanket

$atterley’s ‘North $toneville’ tweaks’ are in. The Dept. of Planning confirmed in a statement on the State Govt’s website on February 1st... the second Anniversary of the Wooroloo Bushfire disaster.

The irony of such ill-timing does not escape any of us...

North $toneville is a dangerous and destructive plan, that will remain ‘Urban’ and dangerous regardless of any changes. And we ALL know that the land set aside for ‘North Parkerville’ will likely follow for another 2360 MORE people. Make no mistake - if North Stoneville gets up, the hills as we know it will be changed forever. Minister Saffioti is probably reviewing the amendments. Then 42 days of comment will open ‘in due course’.

The important thing - our RALLY this SUNDAY will be HUGE. (and hot!) Big-name speakers are leading the charge to ‘SAY NO - AGAIN’ - including Dr Wayne Gregson, DFES Commissioner during the 2014 Stoneville-Parkeville-Mt Helena bushfires. Also, Bob Brown, Greens Founder and dedicated Environmentalist is travelling fom Tasmania to join us. Bob’s sent us this message of support ahead of arriving this weekend.

REMEMBER: Bring a Hat, water, sunscreen, your voice, AND your ‘I SAY NO – AGAIN’ banners!!! See you Sunday! 10am - 11am! Sculpture Park, Mundaring!
