Supreme Court halts remediation!
We got word from the Supreme Court today. Good news! Very good news.
They have allowed the community’s case to go to trial, have ordered a halt to any remediation works until the case has been heard, and have denied the developers application to make the community front up with thousands of dollars in costs before the case goes ahead.
All three things we were asking for. This is wonderful news. This is a great step forward for the rights of a community to be consulted about potential health risks from local development.
There will be some coverage on Perth TV news tonight and I’ll post links as news stories become available.
Whoohoo!
(This means we won’t have to leave our house yet; and possibly not at all)
Excellent news! Good luck!
Yay. And ping – 1st Sydney meetup went well w/4 people. Kickin’ it onna east side :P
Seeya!
Hey Gra, hit http://papertrap.net/scratchpad/ when you have a moment. I have my 2c worth of ideas for a ‘WA blogs’ logo up there.
I would like to get this moving, and can host other suggestions if people have them.
Mark,
Great news on the sydney meetup.
And love the logos — I like the last two the most. The first is attactive but spooky. I’m working on a secret blog project called we blog:: at the moment. More on that soon.
