The residents and friends of Wilbinga, a unique and cherished area in Western Australia, are coming together to express our collective concern over the proposed development of a National Park in our cherished locality. While preserving nature is important, it should not come at the expense of the local community's values, homes, and livelihoods.

Creating a National Park in Wilbinga will lead to government buybacks of privately-owned properties, displacing families who have long called this place their home. This act would not only disrupt lives but also dismantle the strong community ties that have been nurtured over generations. Many property owners stand to lose not just their homes, but their peace of mind and their chosen way of life.

Furthermore, the natural beauty and biodiversity of Wilbinga are already well-preserved and appreciated by local residents who act as its informal stewards. The imposition of a National Park could change the balance, by potentially introducing regulations that could curtail traditional uses and local management practices that have sustainably maintained this area for years.

It is crucial to consider practical, less invasive alternatives that support conservation without sacrificing the rights and homes of local residents. Alternatives like community-based conservation projects and stewardship programs could be more effective, balancing both ecological preservation and the existing human element.

We urge the government to listen to the voices of those who live in and love Wilbinga. We believe that a collaborative approach, rather than a unilateral decision, is the path forward. Please join us in preserving the integrity of our community and preventing unnecessary governmental overreach by signing this petition against the proposed National Park for Wilbinga. Your support is valuable in keeping Wilbinga for all its residents and visitors, just as it is now. Sign to show your opposition to this proposed National Park in Wilbinga.
