Its National Tree Day

Today we honour National Tree Day...

North $toneville’s 60,000 trees are breathing a little easier right now... and so are we.

The Perth Anglican Diocese has wanted North $toneville’s trees bulldozed for 33 years to make way for its relentlessly rejected, bushfire dangerous and environmentally destructive, 1990s townsite plan. $atterley applied in 2018 to clear North $toneville's vegetation and trees... 6 years later, it's still waiting for a decision.

Just last week the Federal Govt's Environment office (EPBC) decided to make $atterley wait even longer... delaying a decision on $atterley’s bulldozing application to September 18th.

Delay is good for us.

In that time WA’s State Tribunal (SAT) will schedule a 2025 hearing for $atterley’s THIRD appeal against WA’s Planning Commission rejections of the plan.

The EPBC may well be pushed back further, after SAT’s determination next year.

More on that soon...

For now... take a minute to relax and think of North $toneville's 60,000 trees which still stand, on this, our National Tree Day, thanks to your amazing and on-going efforts – to Save Perth Hills...

14th July Anniversary

14th July was a significant anniversary for Save Perth Hills. (My apologies for the late posting).

4 years ago, 14th of July, 2020, $atterley and the Anglican Church suffered their FIRST decisive REJECTION by WA’s Planning Commission, of the dangerous and destructive North $toneville plan.

$atterley’s SECOND REJECTION came in December 2023 - again by the WAPC.

$atterley’s THIRD and hopefully FINAL REJECTION will be delivered by WA’s State Tribunal, in 2025.

With each rejection comes a fat State taxpayer legal bill, but also deepening reputational damage and increasing corporate embarrassment to $atterley and Perth’s Anglican Diocese.

Soon, SPH will reveal this saga’s high flyer connections that might surprise you, amuse you and even disappoint you...

But everyone deserves to know - because we’re all being taken for a taxpayer ride on the back of a lousy, inappropriate 33-year old un-approvable idea to urbanise North $toneville.

*** REMINDER - IMPORTANT CALL TO ACTION ***

June 20 2024

As you all know, Satterley has recently lodged its Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) application to bulldoze the land at proposed ‘North $toneville’.

It's EXTREMELY important we let Australia’s Environment Minister, Tanya Plibersek, AND local Federal MP Tania Lawrence that more destruction of hills bush is a no-go zone. Letter writing makes a difference. If no one writes, applications like this receive less scrutiny. Ask Minister Plibersek to REJECT Satterley’s destruction bid.

Just a reminder that ol $atterley wants to bulldoze around 60,000 trees and wipe out more than 165 HECTARES of native vegetation... It's hard to imagine this much bush being wiped out... once it's gone... it's gone!

Time and time again in this campaign we've seen letter writing be the difference! Send one off for each member in your household. Include the kids drawings and letters... nudge your neighbour and talk about this issue - we are ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

$atterley is applying “OFFSETS” to cover up the destruction (only because he's required to do so by law). The offset land is 180km south of N$ in the Shire of Williams... seriously!

Minister Plibersek will decide North Stoneville’s environmental fate in a few weeks.

Here are are some points to consider for your email:

Dear Minister and Ms Lawrence,

RE: EPBC 2018/8382

 I VOTE FOR the Environment, and I need YOU to SAVE North Stoneville.

 Williams which is 180km away is NOT a suitable offset! (How do Chuditchs travel 180km to Williams to reach this ‘offset’? How do our Black Cockatoos know to go to Williams to breed?)

 Bulldozing 60,000 trees will NEVER be ‘Nature Positive’

 $atterley’s application IGNORES Climate Change

 There is NO reference to the 2021 Wooroloo Bushfire (5kms from North Stoneville) which devastated local habitat

 There is NO reference to 2023-24’s drought that has wiped out thousands of trees

 The proposal will REDUCE Black Cockatoo habitat for Baudin's and Carnaby's black cockatoo (Baudin's is potentially facing extinction within 20 years)

 The Perth Hills are a biodiverse environment – not an urban sprawl development site!

Here are the emails you need:

@ Minister.Plibersek@dcceew.gov.au

@ tania.lawrence.mp@aph.gov.au

@ saveperthhillsinc@gmail.com

PLEASE! Write ASAP - to Save North Stoneville
