Controversial plans to develop a town site in a bushfire prone area in the Perth Hills have been stifled by Western Australia's administrative tribunal, which found the proposal was so fundamentally flawed that it could not be "saved".

In short:
The Satterley Property Group has lost its bid to develop a 1,000-lot town site in a parcel of bushland in the Perth Hills, with the State Administrative Tribunal rejecting the plan.
