We’ve asked a lot of you lately - but this is really important...

Please - write to the Shire to object - submissions must be in by this Friday Aug 7...


Stoneville & Parkerville Progress Association Inc (SPPA)

4 DAYS LEFT -WRITE TO THE SHIRE ABOUT PARKERVILLE FARM!!!

The battle against dangerous and destructive Hills development continues to rear its ugly head AND WITH NO COMMUNITY CONSULTATION-AGAIN!!!!!

Parkerville Farm (Structure Plan 79), is next door to the REFUSED, bushfire risk, North Stoneville.

On Anglican land, it’s another example of adhoc, inappropriate and outdated planning that our community rejects.

The plan, for 58 half-acre lots on Kilburn and Brindle Roads, boasts fire trap features like North Stoneville.

Our Community and Planning Minister Rita Saffioti, have given the Shire a MANDATE TO REVIEW ITS LOCAL PLANNING SCHEME (LPS) AS A MATTER OF URGENCY to stop these money-grabbing, dangerous pop-up estates, and instead plan a future that protects and promotes our unique environment, and safeguards our communities.

Last week Mundaring Shire CEO, Jonathan Throssell, told Ratepayer groups that the Shire’s Community Strategic Plan, (which puts Environment as Number One Priority), “DRIVES EVERYTHING WE DO”.

Our Shire needs to HIT PAUSE ON ADHOC DEVELOPMENTS pending the LSP review.

WHAT YOU CAN DO!!!

WRITE A SUBMISSION BY 3PM FRIDAY!

Just a few words – or a lot!

Outline your thoughts / concerns:

•Contravenes State Bushfire Policy 3.7

•Huge risks of adding 200+ people (mostly families) into an Extreme Bushfire Zone

•Fire trap development with complex road layouts

•Traffic dangers on roads already at capacity

•Zero infrastructure

•Sewerage leaks from 58 septic tanks into groundwater

•Clutterbuck Creek at risk

•Contradicts the Shire’s own plan to put Environment, first.

If you need help – let us know!

Use the link on the Shire website (Current Projects)

Email your submission to Shire@mundaring.wa.gov.au

Or drop it off at the Shire by 3 pm Friday.

An intriguing post from the high-end communications company that looks (looked? 🤔) after $atterley's Anglican Church North $toneville Disaster Plan, which has been REFUSED by the WA Planning Commission because it's too dangerous.

Titled 'Building Relationships Before You Build', the article pours praise on Save Perth's Hills' 'sophisticated campaign', and calls out developers who ignore communities and their concerns.

$atterley chose to ignore our community, and by the looks of it - their own advisors, resulting in an historic win for Perth's Hills.

Our campaign has always been about community, and so we will never forget how $atterley laughed in our faces as we 'dared' to speak of grave bushfire fears, and made ZERO attempts to talk to us as a collective, concerned and committed community.

We will also never forget how the Anglican Church is guilty of the same offence - steadfastly refusing to meet with us, despite countless requests - the most recent, just last week.

The level of arrogance shown by this developer and landowner, with their willingness to put thousands of lives at risk and destroy hundreds of hectares of native forest - and expect the community to be silent, is shameful.

We urge all communities across Perth to stand together and with a loud and united voice, demand safe and responsible development which places people first, not profits.

There’s been a PHENOMENAL PUBLIC RESPONSE to our post about the WAPC's REFUSAL of the Anglican Church's North Stoneville plan!

Tens of thousands of you - at last count, 29,105 - and still climbing, 😊 have read how BUSHFIRE RISKS make North Stoneville too dangerous to approve.

So, Anglican Archbishop Kay Goldsworthy - we URGE you, NOT TO APPEAL this decision, which has been made to safeguard our fire prone community from insurmountable and potentially deadly bushfire risks.

Archbishop Goldsworthy - we have made numerous unsuccessful requests over 19 long months to meet with you.

We wrote to you on Thursday asking, yet again, and in good faith as always, to please meet with us about this significant decision that closes the door on a plan of the past, and opens a new door into the future. We await your response.

Now is the time to talk about Perth's Hills' future - with the Hills' community! There are so many exciting opportunities to celebrate Perth Hills’ unique bio-diverse environment.

The Echo’s coverage of the REFUSAL decision outlines the Community’s on-going commitment to ensure Perth's Hills are saved from dangerous urbanisation...
