January 3rd 2008

With the greatest respect... A **Bushfire Trigger Alert** applies to this important post.

We recognise this challenging time of year for our Community. We’re hyper-aware of bushfires, and the increasing number of tragic reminders and commemorations they cause. Today is one of those days... January 3rd, 2008 - a windy and blistering 40+degrees. A bushfire blazed through parts of Parkerville and Stoneville, trapping people on their properties, in their homes, even in a dam. All fearing for their lives. It burned on Anglican-owned land bordering ‘North $toneville’. Anglican Archbishop Kay Goldsworthy has the power to STOP ‘North $toneville’. Indeed, just 10 days ago the Archbishop acknowledged - in her Christmas message: 'the intense challenges and adversity from the ravages of devastating bushfires...’. Yet, at the same time, her Diocese, and business partner $atterley, are pulling together their 'amended' plan to cram 4,000+ people into North $toneville’s proven Extreme Bushfire Zone. Today, we stand with those remembering... JOIN US at 10am, Sunday February 5, at Sculpture Park Mundaring, where we will unite - AGAIN - to END the utter stupidity of KNOWINGLY putting THOUSANDS of people in HARM'S WAY – to pocket an easy profit - by those who should know better.

Community Rally

You've all been asking and here it is!

COMMUNITY RALLY!

SUNDAY - FEB 5, 10am - Sculpture Park, Mundaring

A BLOCKBUSTER Community Rally to "SAY NO AGAIN", to proposed North $toneville.

$atterley has once AGAIN chosen a challenging time of year to launch an ‘amended’ plan in January – during school holidays, and the height of Bushfire season.

No amount of tweaking will make this urbanisation plan safe. That's why our Council, Community, DFES and WA’s highest planning authority, WAPC, have ALL REJECTED it.

We knew this plan was wrong in 2018!

Urbanisation of this site has been wrong - for 32 YEARS!

Add Climate Change disasters, the droughts, the floods the bushfires, Australia’s Summer of Fires.

And – the Wooroloo Mega Fire last year - 87 homes lost and burning 5 kms from this site.

We’ll welcome esteemed experts to our Rally – among them - BOB BROWN, Founder of the Greens – Australia’s Environmental Legend.

More info soon – for now Save the Date. Feb 5 - and join our Hills Community to get ready to "SAY NO AGAIN" to ‘North $toneville’.

Stickers are back

YAY! Our in-demand SPH Car Stickers are BACK IN STOCK! Just in time for this weekend's Artisan Christmas Markets, Saturday and Sunday at Mundaring Arena!

Save Perth Hills' Santa Sack is BULGING with hundreds of new stickers, and important 'SAY NO - AGAIN' Campaign news!

Come and grab a sticker and catch up on the latest.

Meanwhile, the Xma$ Grinch is busy tweaking his ‘North $toneville’ Firetrap Disaster Plan, crammed with more than 1,300 black rooves, 6kms of bitumised road networks, and a 550-hectare Hills' landscape stripped of 14 registered Aboriginal Archaeological sites and bulldozed habitats of Critically Endangered Black Cockatoos. Yes - $atterley’s ‘tweaked’ plan is just 6 weeks away.

Get ready to ‘SAY NO - AGAIN!’ (More deats soon!!)
