You remember Ray $tokes, right?

He was Secretary of WA’s Planning Commission, 3 times, between 2001 - 2006 during the earlier days of North $toneville.

Later, $atterley recruited Ray as their PRIZED ‘PLANNING DIRECTOR’ - in charge of NORTH $TONEVILLE!

We remember Ray well.

Ray was at the ONLY meeting $atterley ever had with us, back in March 2019, when $atterley Exec$ told us they plan to just wait for Save Perth Hills to ‘run out of steam’, and then move on North $toneville.

But, after 30 YEARS’ fighting dangerous North $toneville plans, SPH - and our Community, are running FULL STEAM AHEAD!

But not Ray it seems...

For the last year, Ray dutifully turned up at EVERY Appeal, leading $atterley’s charge to reverse the REJECTION of their DISASTER PLAN.

Until this week...

Where was Ray?

He usually sits next to $atterley’s lawyer, Paul McQueen.

But not this week.

So where’s Ray?

Was Ray made REDUNDANT for not getting North $toneville over the line?

Or did Ray RETIRE because HE ran out of steam?

All good questions... anyhow, here's a short video of our last Ray-encounter just after the Wooroloo Bushfires, when Ray, uncharacteristically, was lost for words outside SAT.

Stay tuned for more intriguing updates on $atterley’s Recruitment Drive... you won't believe it...

$ATTERLEY APPEAL UPDATE

Save Perth Hills were back in the State Tribunal this week for $atterley Mediation Number 8 After a whole YEAR, $atterley still can’t convince anyone that their PROPOSED Anglican Church’s North $toneville, is not a DISASTER PLAN SPH presented compelling reasons why IT IS, including: - East Link is NOT a solution as it won’t get 4000+ people out of the firetrap development. - We need to wait on the Wooroloo Bushfire Inquiry findings - We need to wait on WA’s Bushfire Framework Review - A corner chunk of North $toneville is actually zoned ‘SMALL HOLDINGS’ (Farm-sized Lots!) so an ‘URBAN’ plan can’t be put on that bit of land! (OOPS!!) If they missed a detail like this, what else have they missed? - The Federal Government still won’t approve destroying 200+ bush hectares (more than half the size of Kings Park) - AND - just last week, the Fed Govt committed Australia to the UN Biodiversity Conference’s Kunming Environmental Declaration which states, in part: ‘to shape a future path for nature and people, where biodiversity is conserved and used sustainably.’ https://www.cbd.int/.../5e86e1e.../kunmingdeclaration-en.pdf

The Appeal was adjourned until March 2022 Yep - almost 5 more months! It means $atterley will avoid talking ‘FIRETRAP DEVELOPMENTS’, during their 4th BUSHFIRE SEASON up here. But. It gives us time to play some cards up our sleeve... starting soon...

PUB TEST #3

We’re jumping from the Pulpit back to the Pub!

Today we bring you $atterley’s $olution to Extreme Bushfire dangers on the North $toneville Anglican land.

It's good timing as public submissions to the Wooroloo Bushfire Inquiry are now being examined (including one from Save Perth Hills).

And the 2021-22 Bushfire Season is here.

We obtained, under Freedom of Information, $atterley’s ‘STRONG OBJECTONS’ to our plan to return North $toneville to a safer RURAL zoning.

Check out $atterley’s ‘Bushfire Management’ plan...

Actually - there’s NOTHNG to see!

It’s BEEN BLANKED OUT!!!

Apparently ‘confidential’ to their Appeal of the WA planning commission rejection...

Why doesn’t $atterley want us to know how THEY plan to save OUR lives from bushfire?

Come to think of it - $atterley hasn’t been seen up here for more than 2 years!!!

Last time was August 2019 when Council voted ‘NO NIGEL NO’!

Not even the Wooroloo Bushfires, 5 kms from North $toneville, prompted an appearance!

So what do YOU think?

Should $atterley’s bushfire information be kept from the people it’s meant to save?

Does this pass the Pub Test?

Add your (polite!) comments!

We’ll post the entire $atterley report, (as we received it!), on our website soon.
