Save Perth Hills Rally, 5th February 2023, Sculpture Park, Mundaring

Save Perth Hills (and Facebook) and has been opposing a large scale intensive development proposed in Stoneville for over 30 years. This development is inappropriate for the area for many reasons, including land-clearing (a carbon sequestration, climate change, risk), fire risk, and further threats to our already Critically Endangered Black Cockatoos

The development was rejected by the WA Planning Commission in 2020, but the Satterley Property Group is again proposing the development.

Please see the attached SPH rally flyer to the rally. It is important that we show strong support if we want to prevent this type of development setting a precedent in the hills.

Hope you can make it!

National Sustainable Living Festival, 1st – 28th February 2023

The National Sustainable Living Festival is not just an event, it is a movement of change-makers. Its mission is simple: accelerate the uptake of sustainable living and address global climate and biodiversity emergencies.

As climate change continues to threaten the security and well-being of people and the planet, the action we take this decade is set to define the fate of our future. To achieve a safe climate, we need to decarbonise as fast as possible. This is the decade to rapidly shift to a zero-emissions Australia. So join in the Festival 2023 program to find out more about how we can create the pathway for decade zero.
