2025 marks 34 years of SPH’s continuing opposition to the

Anglican Church’s bushfire dangerous and environmentally

destructive proposed ‘North Stoneville’ townsite.

Save Perth Hills Inc.(SPH) is based in the heart of Perth Hills in Western Australia’s Mundaring Shire, part of Australia’s only two remaining internationally-recognised biodiverse regions.

Since 1991 the SPH Community has campaigned to stop a firetrap and environmentally destructive 1990’s-style stranded Urban townsite for more than 3000 people. The 550-hectare Hills’ land was ‘gifted’ to the Anglican Church by Queen Victoria in the1890’s. The Church calls the land ‘North Stoneville’. Save Perth Hills calls the land the Biggest Business Embarrassment of the Anglican Church Perth Diocese – the Church’s real-estate business arm.

If the plan goes ahead, 60,000 TREES, some 200 years and older, which provide critical habitat to ENDANGERED BLACK COCKATOOS, will be BULLDOZED by the Church and its business partner - Australia’s biggest private land developer, Satterley Property Group.
