Save Beeliar Wetlands - Community Rally

Join us at an important community rally for the Beeliar Wetlands, Bibra Lake

A community rally will be held to show the government that we want to save the Beeliar Wetlands, and we DON'T support Roe 8, the 'road to nowhere'. What we DO support is the preservation of one of the last remaining wetlands in the metropolitan area. We also support sustainable, effective transport solutions for Perth and the southern suburbs.

The rally will include speakers and entertainment. The bigger the crowd, the louder the message that we send!

When: Saturday 31 October
Time: 11:00am - 1:00pm
Location: Bibra Lake Reserve, Progress Drive (between Hope Rd & Gwilliam Drive), Bibra Lake

Background on Roe 8:

Roe 8 is a 6-lane extension of Roe Highway Main Roads proposes to sink directly between North and Bibra Lakes. If it goes ahead, this road will damage some of the few remaining wetlands on the Swan Coastal Plain. These wetlands are significant on a state, national and international level. They are a biodiversity hotspot, provide habitat for wildlife, and have indigenous, spiritual, and recreational value.

The purpose of this rally is to show Main Roads and their political supporters that people do not support Roe 8. The real solution to Perth's traffic woes has nothing to do with building this road, and it is important to show that the people of Perth do not support unsustainable solutions.

The rally is even more important as the proposal marches forward, and Main Roads has begun the public consultation phase of this project.
