City of Swan

As we count down to our RALLY 10AM THIS SUNDAY at SCULPTURE PARK MUNDARING... $atterley’s scheduled tweaked ’North $toneville’ dangerous and destructive plan (due TOMORROW - Jan 31), has caught the eye of our Mundaring Shire’s neighbour, the City of Swan.

We thank Cr Aaron Bowman - City of Swan for adding the proposed development to this week’s City of Swan’s agenda.

$atterley’s planned Urban townsite, (which will remain Urban, regardless of any amendments), includes an un-tested Waste Water Treatment Plant on Swan’s boundary, risking contamination of pristine Suzannah Brook catchment and a registered Aboriginal Heritage site.

The current plan ALSO doesn’t include any traffic modelling for Swan, despite Roland and Stoneville Roads in Swan facing heavy impacts and big upgrades, likely subsidised by City of Swan ratepayers! That’s despite no financial rates return to City of Swan from either $atterley OR from 2,360 people over the road at 'North Parkerville' which will follow North $toneville.

We encourage our Gidgegannup neighbours and supporters to attend the Swan Agenda briefing 6pm, Wednesday 1 February at Midland Town Hall.

You can request to give a deputation by emailing council.meetings@swan.wa.gov.au.

Simon Says .....

*** SAVE PERTH HILLS rally, Sunday 5th February, 10am. Sculpture Park, MUNDARING ***

Please come to hear about what dozens of professionals have been doing tirelessly to help stop a BIG patch of forest… a wonderful piece of local #wildlife habitat… from being destroyed.

This video was a very rushed effort to incorporate an important message with some #Ngolyenok / #CarnabysCockatoo magic. I was trying to use my ‘wildlife whisper’ voice as to not disturb the nestling too much, while at the same time be loud enough to be heard by the camera 3m away! The ironic thing is the Galah in the background is doing it’s very best to continuously interrupt, as if it wants is voice heard, but it’s species is one of the key threats to black cockatoos in this area, due to aggressive competition for #treehollows!!

See you SOON folks!!
