April Fool’s Day 2026: $atterley-style…’

$atterley has pulled another rabbit out the hat… with an idea it admits was hatched over Xmas drinks with its lawyers - the day after their appeal closed on December 11.

We repeat - this is NO April Fool’s joke!

Today in WA’s State Tribunal $atterley sought to re-open its North $toneville case - with an untested idea to turn their proposed estate of 3000 people, into a ‘Survey Strata’ site to stop residents planting trees that would increase the inherent bushfire risks.

And that’s AFTER they’ve bulldozed 60,000 trees - some 200 years old - and habitat to Endangered Black Cockatoos.

WA Planning Commission, Mundaring Shire and Save Perth Hills lawyers all opposed the re-opening and the strata idea saying $atterley has had 7 years to get their plan ‘right’.

SPH lawyer Simon Bourke stated the area had been under threat of North $toneville for 35 years and the community was entitled to a result.

He said after 7 years (of hearings), this case weighs heavily on the thousands of people who Save Perth Hills represents.

Judge Jackson reserved his decision for 2 weeks…

We continue to hope for an outright decision during 2026…
