In 2019 local residents resorted to activism[ clarification needed ][ citation needed ] in a bid to stop a proposal by Satterley Property Group for the North Stoneville Structure Plan 34 [3] development in favour of more sustainable housing. External studies showed that existing road infrastructure could only cater for approximately 70 more dwellings [4] and Main Roads Western Australia confirmed there were no upgrades planned [5] for the area intersecting Great Eastern Highway. A special councillors' meeting was held in August 2019, at which the Mundaring Shire unanimously rejected the proposal.[ citation needed ] In July 2020 the structure plan was refused by the Western Australian Planning Commission, and as of November 2025 [update] the proposal was before the State Administrative Tribunal.
