wanCREW - Where to from here

Dear friends, residents and all those citizens of Western Australia who believe that developments such as the proposed South Pinjar Industrial Site on the Priority 1 Public Drinking Water Supply area should be stopped -

Your participation in this campaign is so inspiring and its great to see that the government is now taking CREW's campaign seriously. Politicans are now asking questions in parliament about the ILS document and the fact that there is a concerned body of residents. We have always said everyone's input is vitally important and this will continue to be case even when your submissions are in. CREW has already had a number of meetings with the State Planning Department and various politicians. From the 1st of April CREW will embark on a concerted campaign to lobby local, state and federal politicians and posting on our site news and information about our progress and where individual politicians stand on this matter. The response from politicians so far, has been encouraging.

After the 1st of April your support and active involvement will still be very crucial. We will be asking you to send letters and emails to various politicians. An organised campaign will get support from politicians who understand the absurdity of what is being proposed and put pressure on the ill informed people to re-evaluate their position. So visit our site regularly to keep up with the latest information about what is happening. More rallies are planned, a song is being written and we are planning concerts to raise money and public awareness. We hope all will go as planned, watch for our emails and visit our website regularly for updates.

wanCREW - Protest March

Our first rally attracted over 360 adults from the local area. It was a family friendly affair with many kids and toddlers joining in to make a great atmosphere. People marched from Bert Togno Park down Wanneroo Rd to meet Paul Miles outside his office.

Thanks again to all the people that came and enjoyed a great day, we look forward to seeing you at the next one!!


The rally reaches Paul Miles' office.


We have provided a 5 part video series covering all aspects of the rally. The fifth video will be available on the 11th march.
