NEW!
31/8/07
An Amendment Bill currently before the Lower House will take 50 hectares currently outside the Settlement Zone and place it within the Settlement Zone (see map and images below).
Only Janet Woollard (Lib. Ind. Alfred Cove) has voted to stop this land grab.
All Labour and Liberal members support this amendment.

The Minister told Parliament that the Taskforce recommended changes to the boundary - it did not!
The Minister can change the boundary but must go to the Parliament first. She has not yet given a convincing reason for these changes.

LAND GRAB ON ROTTNEST! |

| WHAT DOES THE GOVERNMENT HAVE PLANNED FOR THESE TWO AREAS (see images below - blue line is current boundary, red is new boundary) |
 |
| TWO PRIME LOCATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT? Enough ground at Bickley and at Little Geordie for whole new developments |

There is no good justification for including this extra land in the settlement are unless there is an intention to build on it. |
Welcome to our website. The Rottnest Society is an incorporated not-for-profit ‘friends’ group that devotes it energies to ensuring a future for Rottnest which will allow our children and their children to enjoy many of the same experiences shared by several generations of West Australian holiday makers and other visitors. The Society does this both through ‘hands on’ activities such as tree planting and weeding, and by scrutinising - and commenting on - management plans, and lobbying for the conservation and restoration of the natural environment and for the preservation of the ‘Rottnest ethos’. (Note that this is not our usual Home Page - we will go back to a more typical one after this campaign is over)
