The most significant hearing in our 34-years, starts September 15 in WA's State Tribunal. So much is on the line...

But let's talk about the 'value' of those 60,000 irreplaceable, healthy, Black Cockatoo-supportive Jarrah and Marri trees facing obliteration beneath the bulldozers of $atterley and Perth's Anglican Church... (Archbishop Kay Goldsworthy – reeeeaaallly?)

SPH has done the maths using Premier Cook's own Treebate Refund calculation.

60,000 trees at $150 each, means North $toneville’s trees are worth a whopping 9-MILLION DOLLARS.

That's almost two years' worth of Treebate refunds.

The simpler, safer and sensible solution is to activate the 5-year-stalled SPH and Mundaring Shire applications to Rezone North $toneville back to Rural. No WA Govt agency or Department objects to the Rural Rezone, btw.

Archbishop Goldsworthy can develop her land ‘respectfully’, thousands of trees will survive, the Cockatoos' habitat will be protected, a safer bushfire planning approach can be applied, and we can ALL send $atterley, with his 1990s firetrap plan, and his bulldozers, packing back to Peppermint Grove.

It’s simple: Honour the value of what can never be replaced... these 60,000 trees, standing tall – sucking up the carbon and supporting Cockatoos, for centuries, in Stoneville...

Hot on the heels of FAILING to silence Save Perth Hills’ Expert Bushfire witness - Dr Ken Strahan, $atterley Property Group has NOW FAILED to secure a 3-month DELAY in the hearing of its bushfire dangerous and environmentally destructive North $toneville plan.

A 3-month delay could’ve pushed the hearing deep into 2026… and into the 35th year of WA’s longest running local Community issue.

Dr Strahan’s expert observations (that Satterley FAILED to silence), revealed that $atterley’s Bushfire modelling could've been tested under an updated bushfire program called ‘Vesta Mark 2.’


, $atterley tried to convince WA’s State Tribunal that it needed 3 MONTHS to test the updated program, despite DFES needing just 2 DAYS!

SPH lawyers, and the State Solicitors’ Office, opposed the 3-month extension, so $atterley ended up with just 3 WEEKS, which means a mid-September appeal hearing start.

However… (Dum roll) ....

WHY was $atterley so keen to PROLONG the hearing - given $ATTERLEY IS ADVERTISING NORTH $TONEVILLE FOR SALE on its website!

Under ‘LAND FOR SALE’ $atterley claims ‘North $toneville’ is ‘Coming Soon’… Their arrogance knows no bounds...

But wanna know their BIGGEST EPIC FAIL (so far!) ???

Despite 9 years' tormenting our Community, $atterley reckons 'North $TONEVILLE' - yes - 'STONEVILLE' - is in MUNDARING.

They have NO IDEA where we are!

Any suggestions to point them in the 'right' direction?
