An intriguing post from the high-end communications company that looks (looked? 🤔) after $atterley's Anglican Church North $toneville Disaster Plan, which has been REFUSED by the WA Planning Commission because it's too dangerous.

Titled 'Building Relationships Before You Build', the article pours praise on Save Perth's Hills' 'sophisticated campaign', and calls out developers who ignore communities and their concerns.

$atterley chose to ignore our community, and by the looks of it - their own advisors, resulting in an historic win for Perth's Hills.

Our campaign has always been about community, and so we will never forget how $atterley laughed in our faces as we 'dared' to speak of grave bushfire fears, and made ZERO attempts to talk to us as a collective, concerned and committed community.

We will also never forget how the Anglican Church is guilty of the same offence - steadfastly refusing to meet with us, despite countless requests - the most recent, just last week.

The level of arrogance shown by this developer and landowner, with their willingness to put thousands of lives at risk and destroy hundreds of hectares of native forest - and expect the community to be silent, is shameful.

We urge all communities across Perth to stand together and with a loud and united voice, demand safe and responsible development which places people first, not profits.

There’s been a PHENOMENAL PUBLIC RESPONSE to our post about the WAPC's REFUSAL of the Anglican Church's North Stoneville plan!

Tens of thousands of you - at last count, 29,105 - and still climbing, 😊 have read how BUSHFIRE RISKS make North Stoneville too dangerous to approve.

So, Anglican Archbishop Kay Goldsworthy - we URGE you, NOT TO APPEAL this decision, which has been made to safeguard our fire prone community from insurmountable and potentially deadly bushfire risks.

Archbishop Goldsworthy - we have made numerous unsuccessful requests over 19 long months to meet with you.

We wrote to you on Thursday asking, yet again, and in good faith as always, to please meet with us about this significant decision that closes the door on a plan of the past, and opens a new door into the future. We await your response.

Now is the time to talk about Perth's Hills' future - with the Hills' community! There are so many exciting opportunities to celebrate Perth Hills’ unique bio-diverse environment.

The Echo’s coverage of the REFUSAL decision outlines the Community’s on-going commitment to ensure Perth's Hills are saved from dangerous urbanisation...

People power, community power and pure determination has put an end to disastrous North $toneville.

Every deputation, banner, sticker, Facebook like and more has contributed to this historic result!

Today we have laid the foundations for a Perth Hills future that is not urban sprawl, that protects Perth’s backyard for everyone and keeps the Perth Hills region safer. The Perth Hills are not to be urbanised.

To every Save Perth Hills Chair and committee member who has been involved over the past 26 years, this one is for you 🤩

3 strikes and surely out!


...and FROM THE WAPC 👇

The Western Australian Planning Commission’s (WAPC) Statutory Planning Committee met earlier today, resolving to refuse the draft North Stoneville Structure Plan No.34 (SP34).

Refusal of the application was on the basis that the applicant did not convince the Committee that the proposal meets the intent and objectives of State Planning Policy 3.7 Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas.

During the meeting, the Committee received deputations from 13 parties, including the developer Satterley Property Group, the Shire of Mundaring and local community groups. The Committee also noted a number of written deputations that were received.

The Committee’s decision is consistent with recommendations of both the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage and the Shire of Mundaring, and considered advice provided by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services.

Minutes of the meeting will be published online at www.dplh.wa.gov.au/wapc by Friday,

24 July 2020.
