The Environment is Back

**CODE RED FOR THE ENVIRONMENT**

In 8 days, (July 28), Satterley will try - for an incredible 9th time, to convince WA’s Govt to let it build the dangerous and destructive proposed ‘North Stoneville’ and bulldoze more than 200 hectares of native forest and bush…

Today - a frightening insight into the state of Australia’s environment was released.

It suggests we need to ‘revegetate’

This was Tania Lawrence’s (our Federal MP) message today.

“Under Labor, the environment is back –

front and centre.”

“You probably haven’t heard of the State of the Environment report - and there’s a reason for that.

The previous Government didn’t want you to know about it.

They received it before Christmas, but they refused to release it.

But today, the new Minister for Environment and Water, Tanya Plibersek, stood up in Canberra and finally released the report.”

Tania Lawrence MP

URGENT CALL TO ACTION!

Please tell our local Federal member, Tania Lawrence MP, that bulldozing our bush to build little Satterley houses is NOT what the hills OR Australia’s environment needs. As today’s report shows, prevention is better than a cure…

We have requested an urgent meeting with Tania - but need YOUR voice to let Tania know - we need her help - to Save Perth Hills.

Two Years

Sooooo... Did you know it's been TWO WHOLE YEARS since the WA Planning Commission refused proposed North Stoneville? For the past 24 months, Nigel $atterley and his lawyers have been making the case (behind closed doors) to the State Administrative Tribunal to 'mediate' the WAPC's decision... In other words, come to an agreement so the proposal can proceed....

Thursday the 28th of July will be the NINTH attempt at mediating the decision... and this one will be a full day. It is time to draw a line through this drawn out process. How fair is it that a developer gets chance after chance in secret meetings while tax payers wear the cost? Enough is enough!

Nevertheless, the 14th of July is an important date in this campaign to Save Perths' Hills - as it marks a milestone for the collective efforts of this community of doers, to stand up and speak out against bad planning. A stranded suburban development that enables urban sprawl should not be built in a high risk fire zone.

Perth's Urban Sprawl

This is a super interesting read... Dr Brad Pettitt MLC, former Mayor of the City of Fremantle and now Greens MLC, has penned his thoughts in this compelling article about Perth’s urban sprawl problem.

For us here in the Perth Hills, You only need to look at the large freeway interchanges proposed for East Link to see the urban sprawl intent out East. As we have always said, suburbia is no place for Perth’s backyard. Once it’s Gone, it’s Gone! https://www.watoday.com.au/.../perth-is-already-the-world...
