Waiting... waiting... waiting...

Waiting… Waiting… Waiting…

In fact we’re waiting quite a bit right now…

It’s 6 months today since $atterley’s North $toneville appeal hearing concluded in WA’s State Tribunal.

Judge Jackson reserved his decision… and we continue to wait.

But we’re good at waiting - we’ve waited 35 years so far.

While we wait, Save Perth Hills continues to be environmentally diligent.

Our Shire’s planning framework is up for review and we implore Council and the Shire to strengthen protection of our native environment and waterways.

On that note, we’ve asked Mundaring Shire to confirm ‘Collina Estate’, the development at the base of proposed North $toneville on Kilburn Rd, Parkerville, is adhering to all required environmental standards.

It’s been a shock for many to see a massive yellow moonscaped sandpit appear alongside fragile Clutterbuck Creek, and where so many magnificent habitat trees stood for over 100 years.

Hectares of unique local biodiversity have been obliterated.

This is considered an urban development, but where is the urban canopy?

And so we wait, for our Shire to respond…

Stick with us.

We remain hopeful that all this waiting - will be worthwhile.

$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...
