The Cottesloe Council says it 'is committed to preserving and improving its natural and built environment' and aims 'to lead in environmental management, sustainability initiatives as well as prepare for and mitigate climate change'.

WHAT HYPOCRISY! It has voted instead to construct a concrete skate park on what remains of the John Black Dune Park, which is a 'hot spot' for bird life including the purple backed fairy wren, and other valuable wildlife. 

COTTESLOE COASTCARE IS AS BAD! It has endorsed the John Black Dune Park as a suitable location for a concrete, heat-producing skate park, despite its Constitution which aims to:

'Promote the sustainable use of the coastal zone in the Town of Cottesloe (being the areas of coastal land of the Town of Cottesloe and the coastal reefs and waters adjacent to that land) in association with the Town of Cottesloe;

Promote an awareness of the need to conserve and protect the natural resources of the coastal zone within the Town of Cottesloe and adjoining areas;

Undertake coastal rehabilitation projects within the Town of Cottesloe and adjoining areas;

Develop action plans for the care and management of the coastal zone within the Town of Cottesloe and adjoining areas.'   

WE NEED YOU NOW

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION AND SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHO CARES ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT

CONTACT THE COTTESLOE COUNCIL AND COTTESLOE COASTCARE AND STOP THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SKATE PARK IN THIS LAST REMAINING DUNE PARK IN THE HEART OF COTTESLOE
