Your Local Issues We're looking for local correspondants
from our readers in the Shires of Chittering, Mundaring, Serpentine-Jarrahdale,
Kalamunda, Armadale and the Cities of Swan and Gosnells. If you have a Hills-related
issue you'd like to report on, please write it up and send it to info@saveperthhills.org. -------------------------------------------------------------- Giz
Watson MLC, of the Greens, is sponsoring The
Perth Hills Planning Bill, which will put development criteria in place
for the Darling Scarp, from Chittering in the north to Serpentine in the south.
Patterned on the successful Swan Valley Planning Act 1995,
it will: - Establish planning objectives which will retain
the Hills lifestyle, amenities, flora and fauna, allowing for slow-growth within
current communities, and controlling mining and logging;
- Give
legal effect to the planning objectives;
- Create a committee
of government and community representatives to review development applications;
and
- Insert a layer of transparency and public input between
Cities/Shires and the State Planning Commission.
