Over the past 20 months, the community has been clear that it does not want poorly planned urban sprawl in the Perth Hills.

NOTE - what happens next in our collective story is incredibly important. Fighting and reacting to ill-conceived development plans is not the future we want to see. Attention is turning to the reality for the Perth Hills region that we ALL WANT. Here is a significant step towards that reality... The good people over at RDA Perth have put together a Perth Hills Community Survey. This survey has been created based on RDA speaking with businesses, local government and community groups across the Perth Hills. We encourage you to respond to the survey and more than that, to share it out across the Perth Hills and beyond. What is your vision for the Perth Hills? What do you want to see? We look forward to seeing the results and what happens next!

SP79 ( Structure Plan 79 Kilburn Rd / Brindle Rd , Parkerville subdivision - The Shire Of Mundaring have kindly given an extension to residents to submit their concerns and objections to the current proposal

Till Friday 14th August

Make sure you have your say

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submissions to the Shire are due by 3pm Friday Aug 14th on the adhoc and inappropriate subdivision for at least 58 suburban homes on the old Parkerville Farm-corner of Kilburn and Brindle Rds.

Concerns that our Community have raised include

-Contravenes State Bushfire Planning Policy 3.7

-Bushfire risk (2008 fire started at Brindle Rd)

-Traffic impact on dangerous roads that are at capacity now

-No infrastructure, no parks, no playgrounds

-Clutterbuck Creek at risk from contaminants from septics

If this Structure Plan 79 proceeds as is, it will give the developer a blank canvas to utilise every square inch of land, house upon house upon house. No historical sheds or artifacts. NO PLAYGROUNDS, NO PARKS, DESTRUCTION OF LANDSCAPE.

What you can do

Write your submission by 3pm Friday 14th August

Email your submissions to shire@mundaring.wa.gov.au

Or drop them into the Shire Offices

We’ve asked a lot of you lately - but this is really important...

Please - write to the Shire to object - submissions must be in by this Friday Aug 7...


Stoneville & Parkerville Progress Association Inc (SPPA)

4 DAYS LEFT -WRITE TO THE SHIRE ABOUT PARKERVILLE FARM!!!

The battle against dangerous and destructive Hills development continues to rear its ugly head AND WITH NO COMMUNITY CONSULTATION-AGAIN!!!!!

Parkerville Farm (Structure Plan 79), is next door to the REFUSED, bushfire risk, North Stoneville.

On Anglican land, it’s another example of adhoc, inappropriate and outdated planning that our community rejects.

The plan, for 58 half-acre lots on Kilburn and Brindle Roads, boasts fire trap features like North Stoneville.

Our Community and Planning Minister Rita Saffioti, have given the Shire a MANDATE TO REVIEW ITS LOCAL PLANNING SCHEME (LPS) AS A MATTER OF URGENCY to stop these money-grabbing, dangerous pop-up estates, and instead plan a future that protects and promotes our unique environment, and safeguards our communities.

Last week Mundaring Shire CEO, Jonathan Throssell, told Ratepayer groups that the Shire’s Community Strategic Plan, (which puts Environment as Number One Priority), “DRIVES EVERYTHING WE DO”.

Our Shire needs to HIT PAUSE ON ADHOC DEVELOPMENTS pending the LSP review.

WHAT YOU CAN DO!!!

WRITE A SUBMISSION BY 3PM FRIDAY!

Just a few words – or a lot!

Outline your thoughts / concerns:

•Contravenes State Bushfire Policy 3.7

•Huge risks of adding 200+ people (mostly families) into an Extreme Bushfire Zone

•Fire trap development with complex road layouts

•Traffic dangers on roads already at capacity

•Zero infrastructure

•Sewerage leaks from 58 septic tanks into groundwater

•Clutterbuck Creek at risk

•Contradicts the Shire’s own plan to put Environment, first.

If you need help – let us know!

Use the link on the Shire website (Current Projects)

Email your submission to Shire@mundaring.wa.gov.au

Or drop it off at the Shire by 3 pm Friday.
