 SPH stopped $atterley's bid to SILENCE our EXPERT Witness!

 

$atterley has revealed the dirty depths it will be going to, try to reverse 34-years of RELENTLESS REJECTION for its proposed dangerous and destructive North $toneville FIRETRAP development.

 

$atterley tried to SILENCE the voice of our Community Bushfire Expert Witness, Dr Ken Strahan, by preventing him appearing at not one, but THREE critical pre-Appeal legal conferences on Bushfire and Traffic Risks.

 

Save Perth Hills' lawyers strongly opposed Satterley’s attempt to exclude Dr Strahan, an expert in Human Behaviour in Bushfire Emergencies, from legal discussions with $atterley’s own ‘experts’, about Satterley’s Bushfire Management and Traffic plans and the safety of more than 3,000 'North $toneville' people - and the rest of us, during full-scale Bushfire emergencies.

 

To the credit of our Community-funded lawyers, and a ruling by WA's State Administrative Tribunal, Dr Strahan was given the go-ahead to attend all three bushfire-related expert conferences.

Our Community will NOT be silenced to serve this developer, and the landowner, Perth’s Anglican Church, who CONTINUE to put their PRIVATE PROFITS ahead of our Community’s safety.

Please know, this demonstrates the value of our Community-funded lawyers - before we've even started $atterley's month-long appeal hearing in September.

 

If you can, please DONATE to help us with legal fees.

The North $toneville Count-down is ON…

And Save Perth Hills is ramping UP!

It’s exactly 12 weeks to $atterley’s month-long September hearing - which effectively, will challenge 34 YEARS of constant opposition to the Anglican Church’s dangerous and destructive North $toneville plan.  

Our action-packed 3 months will include revealing $atterley’s FOURTH attempt at a Bushfire Management Plan… you’ll be gobsmacked.  

But first - our petition calling on North $toneville landowner, Anglican Archbishop Kay Goldsworthy, to PULL THE PIN on the Church’s plan that will destroy 60,000 trees - and crucial Endangered Black Cockatoo habitat.

Anyone, anywhere - and any age, can sign.    

If $atterley wins in September - Perth Hills will be opened up to wholesale destructive and unsustainable urbanisation.

SO much is at stake ..

If ever we’ve needed your whole hearted support and involvement - it’s now….

You can start by signing here  - and sharing our petition far and wide!

Last Long Weekend, Nigel $atterley, head of Australia's biggest private land development company, is probably choosing where to put his newest (and clearly heaviest, by the look of The West's photo!), Gong - the 2025 WA Business of the Year Award, courtesy of WA's Chamber of Minerals and Energy.

Hang on. Is Nigel $atterley a MINER?

The Nigel WE know wants to BULLDOZE 60,000 healthy, magnificent Jarrah and Marri trees, up to 200 years old, providing critical habitat for our Endangered Black Cockatoos, at so called 'North '$toneville'… land belonging to Perth’s Anglican Church.

The Chamber describes itself as "The leading advocate for the resources sector in WA."

Hang on. Are Perth's Hills now a 'RESOURCE???

Maybe Nigel's plans to blowup AN ENTIRE North $toneville HILL (true) to destroy its natural incline to conform with bushfire standards, and then moonscape and bitumise almost everything that's left for his URBAN HILLS development (minus the 'Hills' bit), across an area bigger than Kings Park, speaks the language of the Chamber?

Adding to his 'award winning business' credentials, Australia's Rich Lister is dragging WA taxpayers along his 6-year-long merry ride of appeals to overcome MULTIPLE WA Planning Commission, DFES, Mundaring Shire, Main Roads and City of Swan rejections, AND, 34 YEARS of relentless Community opposition, against a firetrap and destructive Hills plan.

Our Congrats to ALL the wonderful, worthy, West Australians justly recognised in this Year's WA Day Awards!  (minus Nigel)

And Congrats - every day of the year, to our incredible and wholesome Community whose commitment, unity and huge hearts are helping us all - Save Perth Hills!   

If you'd like to help save North $toneville's trees from Nigel $atterley's bulldozers - you can 'adopt a tree' through our ‘Tree Keeper’ campaign!….
