Chidlow Chatter

Hills Communities SAY NO to $ATTERLEY - AGAIN.

Word is spreading fast about $atterley’s decision to draw up an ‘amended’ urbanisation plan, despite 32 years’ relentless rejection of a bushfire dangerous and environmentally destructive townsite at ‘North $toneville.’

This week the amazing ‘Chidlow Chatter’ has devoted its entire front page of its December issue, to ‘Satterley’s Desperate Re-launch of Doomed Hills Plan.' (click to open the article and it's easier to read).

And our Friends at Darlington Ratepayers and Residents’ Association (DRRA)have voted to support Save Perth Hills’ campaign to “SAY NO AGAIN” to $atterley’s seemingly endless attempts - and appeals, to urbanise Stoneville.

$atterley’s tweaked plan will be thrust on our Community for ‘public comment’ - at the height of the bushfire season in January..

Already many of our local Community ratepayer and resident groups have booked Save Perth Hills to present our ‘SAY NO AGAIN’ Campaign including Stoneville & Parkerville Progress Association Inc (SPPA), Darlington's DRRA, Mt Helena Residents and Ratepayers' Association, and Mundaring Ratepayers and Residents.

If your local community, environmental, sporting, wildlife, water catchment group – or any local group would like to book a free “SAY NO AGAIN” SPH Presentation – just let us know!

And remember your donations are vitally important to fund our campaign. 800 SPH car stickers landed last week – courtesy of our Community’s collective generosity! 100 of them are already out and about spreading the SPH word!

$ATTERLEY'S PIPE-DREAM IS HIGH AND DRY.

'Water Minister Dave Kelly has reminded residents in bushfire prone areas to consider their water supply in preparation for a challenging bushfire season.'

So begins the WA Govt’s bushfire advice (Dec 6), from Water Minister Kelly and Emergency Services Minister Dawson. They warn of ‘above normal bushfire risks’ with a dire reminder NOT to rely on scheme water to fight bushfires.

‘During bushfire, scheme water infrastructure...can be damaged and power failures can result in a total loss of water... High demand can lead to a drop in water pressure... That means ensuring your own independent water supply, ideally at least 20,000 litres..’

So where does this leave $atterley’s ‘North $toneville’ PIPE DREAM? HIGH and DRY, that’s where! With ZERO water at ‘North $toneville’, $atterley’s solution is a massive pipeline extension. But water SUPPLIES will be RESTRICTED to the 4000+ residents by 40,000 LITRES LESS than normal suburban homes! As for ‘independently storing 20,000 litres’ – try doing that on a 350sqm block with a metre separation to your neighbour. $atterley’s PIPE DREAM sits surrounded by a proven Extreme Bushfire Zone, within Ember Attack reach of John Forrest National Park and is severely WATER-RESTRICTED. It has no place in Perth’s volatile Hills. As for the Anglican Church landowner - all we can say is... how can you persist with this plan, knowing how DANGEROUS it will be to so many people? That's why we ALL must 'SAY NO AGAIN’ when $atterley’s ‘tweaked’ plan is released for public comment in January.

THANK YOU for so many AMAZINGLY GENEROUS donations for our monumental 2023 campaign to Save Perth Hills! Please donate if you can - for legal advice, printing, insurance, promotional and publicity... the list goes on!

Media statements - Important reminder not to rely on scheme water during a bushfire

Our Banners are Back!!

Our SPH Banners are Back!!!...

because so is $atterley...

$atterley’s desperately drawing up ‘an amendment' to their ‘North $toneville’ disaster plan to be released in January - at the height of our bushfire season.

So, a HUGE Thank You to our AMAZING community for displaying Save Perth Hills banners on fences and properties urging our community to SAY NO AGAIN to $atterley’s firetrap plan, when public comment opens in January.

Apparently, 6 years of failed planning, 2 years of failed mediation and relentless REJECTIONS from community, DFES, WA’s planning agencies and politicians – aren’t enough for $atterley and the Anglican Church landowner to understand ‘North $toneville’ is dangerous to our community and destructive of our bio-diverse environment.

Remember to write to Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek to reject $atterley’s plan of environmental mass destruction - Minister.Plibersek@dcceew.gov.au .

And get ready to SAY NO AGAIN to $atterley's tweaked plan soon. We'll have more info for you in the coming weeks.

All donations gratefully accepted for our monumental 2023 campaign to - Save Perth Hills!
