Welcome to the #EnvironmentalCampaign archive. This story is about the fight to stop a highway extension through WA’s #BeeliarWetlands.
The #RoeHighway was first drafted in 1955, with sections built over the next 50 years. The Roe 8 section was a 5km heavy-haulage route planned to pass through #BeeliarWetlands, 20km south of Perth, projected to cost $450 million.
Over the following years more people became aware of the loss of around 80% of #wetlands in the Perth region. In 1985 the Wetland Conservation Society (WCS) was formed after the unsuccessful Farrington Road Blockade failed to stop the loss of #bushland.
