AGAIN: Where’s the Wooroloo Bushfire Report?

We raised this question recently - but no response from the Government which has sat on the Report since December.

It’s March next week…. and now more than a year since the catastrophe.

Today, we see DFES advertising a tender for … ‘Monitoring and evaluation of Wooroloo Bushfire Community Recovery & Outreach Program and State Recovery’.

Can someone - ANYONE - please explain to us how a review of the ‘Recovery’ can be appropriately conducted during the on-going and unexplained absence of the Official Report into the emergency that prompted this Recovery?

Did you know?

Satterley’s ‘North Stoneville’ Disaster Plan is dragging into its 4th year... and we admit this tale has had more than just a few plot twists and turns over the years... So we got reflective and thought it was timely to remind you, our incredible supporters, exactly what we’re fighting for... and campaigning, to save and protect. Tonight we launch our DID YOU KNOW series…

First up - how many chances is too many? $atterley has gone back to the State Administrative Appeals Tribunal 7 times since August 2020. Next month’s hearing will make the 8th tax-payer funded ‘mediation’ session... Do you sense a pattern here?

Where is the Wooroloo Bushfire Report?

Um... where is the Wooroloo Bushfire Report?

This summer has been volatile and challenging. Across WA’s regional south, Perth’s Hills, Chittering, Bullsbrook, and even suburbs, we’re being reminded of the fire-force we face.

At this time we also mark the first anniversary of the Wooroloo catastrophe.

One year on, we understand some community members remain in financial distress and housing limbo.

Save Perth Hills want our bushfire prone communities to know we press, relentlessly, for safer solutions, and challenge ‘suburban-focussed’ bushfire policies, in a never-ending effort to increase bushfire safety.

This week we wrote to Planning Minister Saffioti, Emergency Minister Dawson and DFES Commissioner Klemm questioning dangerous shortfalls in bushfire policy updates.

But the most PRESSING question is:

Where’s Wooroloo’s Bushfire Report?

Swan Hills MP Jessica Shaw MLA says the Govt got the Report in December! So where is it? The Govt took 6 months to call for the Report, and has had 2 months to read it! You might like to email the Premier’s office and ask - Where’s Wooroloo’s Bushfire Report? Let us know what they say... woorolooreview@dpc.wa.gov.au

Meanwhile, to our Wooroloo Bushfire Community: Save Perth HiIls stands with you, and, like you, we will never forget.
