The days of covering wetlands with bitumen are gone. Building more roads only leads to more traffic, more pollution and more impacts on the health of our communities and environment.
Please send a message to the EPA and the State Government asking them to abandon their plans to destroy the beautiful Beeliar Wetlands  with an expensive and unsustainable road to nowhere.
The Save Beeliar Wetlands campaign aims to protect and promote the wetlands and bushland of the North Lake and Bibra Lake Reserves in the Beeliar Regional Park.
The area is currently under threat from plans for the construction of Roe Highway Stage 8. Now is the time for us to have our say to the state Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), the Premier and Environment Minister.
The Beeliar wetlands are one of the most significant cultural sites for Aboriginal people in the Southern Metropolitan region, they are home to endangered species such as the Carnabys Cockatoo, and the beautiful parklands are used by thousands of local people and visitors per year.
building a highway through this Regional Park would destroy the aesthetic, recreational, cultural and environmental values of the area forever, and simply move a traffic congestion problem from one place to another.

ROE 8 is not a foregone conclusion. It does not have state or federal environmental approval.

The Public Environmental Review (PER) is the documentation produced by South Metro Connect for the state government to allow the EPA to assess the proposal. In this case the public has from June 20th to September 12th to make their own submissions.

The PER is available online or get a hard copy or CD by calling 1800 132 572. Submissions can be emailed to submissions@epa.wa.gov.au. Or posted: The Environmental Protection Authority,
Locked Bag 33, Cloisters Square, Perth 6850.
