Bushfire Recommendations

For 31 years SPH has refused to accept the unacceptable - and we continue to do so... We have always maintained that homes for 4000 people should not be built in an area considered by DFES to be an extreme fire risk zone..... ...Yet here we are STILL having the conversation....

Earlier this year, this Perth Hills community eagerly awaited the release of the independent review into the 2021 Wooroloo bushfire... One of the 13 recommendations asked for DFES advice to be followed and have more say when it comes to planning - this advice was not taken up by the State Government... WHY?

The DFES Commissioner is well-placed to provide safer standards for planning in fire prone areas. As it stands, DFES advice can be 'noted' but not enforced.

That. MUST. Change.

As we head towards the warmer months - this article by WAtoday.com.au is a reminder of the issue and why better standards will be safer for all.

Tomorrow, we will be launching our petition on the State Government to reconsider its position. Stay tuned!

Satterley gets MORE time!

6 years of planning and 2 years of mediation are still not enough time for $atterley to fix its flawed and failed North $toneville’ plan! At the Directions legal Hearing yesterday, $atterley requested yet ANOTHER extension to the 4th of November. When will WA’s State Administration Tribunal call time on $atterley’s excuses and delays? If $atterley can’t get it right in 6 years - why another 6 weeks????

This begs another PUB TEST that asks you, the community and taxpayers….. How much time should $atterley the developer be given to appeal the WA Planning Commission’s decision to REFUSE North $toneville? Let's not forget WA’s taxpayers are paying for the WAPC’s lawyers to appear at SAT.

September Update

C’mon $atterley! After NINE failed appeal attempts - isn't it time to call it quits!?

...Call it quits to demonstrate your ‘commitment to community!’

...Call it quits and graciously congratulate the community who guided you - and the Anglican Church, away from a monumental business disaster - a dangerous firetrap estate.

... Call it quits to save taxpayers’ money and spare us all ANOTHER prolonged Tribunal hearing.

6 YEARS of FAILURED ATTEMPTS proves your plan is a Firetrap FLOP!

This Friday the 9th of Sept will determine where our 31-year community battle goes next. C’mon $atterley - time to call it QUITS. And we’ll ALL be better off for it.
