Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs Brazier said Save Perth Hills and the Mundaring Shire Council had hopes there may be provision to revoke the delegate’s approval.“In the absence of a revocation, Save Perth Hills are confident of solid grounds for a judicial review,” he said.Satterley declined to comment.The WA Greens backed calls for Plibersek to reverse the decision to approve clearing at Satterley’s North Stoneville site.WA Greens MLC Brad Pettitt said he understood there was power for the minister, in limited circumstances, to revoke an approval via section 145 of the Act if the minister believed the action “will have a significant impact that was not identified in assessing the action”.Pettitt said there was scope to revoke the decision, given the loss of urban tree canopy, inadequacy of the offsets program and outdated environmental surveys taken seven years ago before Perth’s record-breaking hot summers and significant dry spells caused a forest collapse in the south-west.Loading“North Stoneville site was inappropriate in 1991 when it was first proposed; threats to biodiversity and bushfire risk have only added to concerns in the decades since,” he said.“To build here would put future residents at serious risk of climate-related impacts, especially bushfires, not to mention the destruction of hundreds of hectares of endangered Black cockatoo and Chuditch habitat.“In 2014 there was a catastrophic bushfire in the area that destroyed 57 homes, and in 2020 the proposal was rejected for failing to properly mitigate future bushfire risk.“It is a testament to the influence of property developers in this state that this project is still on the table after more than thirty years of community opposition.”In October 2024, the Shire of Mundaring pleaded with Plibersek to reverse her approval of the controversial housing estate.Shire President Paige McNeill wrote to the minister formally requesting she reconsider her approval of the structure plan for the 535-hectare town site over concerns she used outdated environmental surveys.However, Pilbersek’s hands may be tied, with national environmental protection laws only allowing her to revoke approvals in the case of serious contraventions or if proponents wilfully withhold information about potential environmental impacts in their applications.Save Perth Hills is planning a community rally in Mundaring on February 23 in the lead up to the state and federal elections to call on Plibersek to revoke Satterley’s environmental approval.
