$atterley FAILs in bid to re-open the case.

NO NIGEL NO!

NO '2nd BITE OF THE CHERRY'!

$atterley Property Group - Australia's biggest private land developer, and North $toneville landowner WA's Anglican Church, have FAILED in their bid to re-open their North $toneville appeal at WA's State Tribunal (SAT).

This is not the ultimate decision about the proposed townsite - that's still to come. SOON.

But this is a Significant $atterley Setback.

$atterley wanted the case re-opened (it closed with a reserved decision in December), to argue for a Strata subdivision across North $toneville's 535 hectares, to stop future residents planting anything that would interfere with $atterley's Bushfire Plan.

This was despite:

35 years' relentless Community opposition

3 rejections by WA Planning Commission, DFES, Mundaring Shire

6 years in the Tribunal with mediations and an appeal

AND - 8 years to 'get their plan right'.

Citing 28 reasons, SAT said NO NIGEL NO!

Judge Jackson noted Save Perth Hills' submission against a re-opening was based on 'very considerable interest of its members in the prompt resolution of the matter', and that a reopening would cause 'a delay, measured in months'.

The Judge said Satterley had 'time, resources and legal representation' over a considerably long hearing', and so the Parties - WAPC, Mundaring Shire and Save Perth Hills, were entitled to believe there’d be 'NO SECOND BITE OF THE CHERRY'!

So - now we wait - again, for the Judge's decision on the final fate of North $toneville, it's 60,000 Jarrah and Marri trees - habitat to Endangered Black Cockatoos, and a site surrounded by an Extreme Bushfire Zone considered, 3 times now , to be too dangerous for an Urban development of 3000 people...
