Tell Walker Corp. what you think. Visit their Lauderdale project web site for information about their community consultation.

Save Ralphs Bay Inc. (SRB) is a community action group with a strong regional support base. SRB was formed in March 2004 in response to the Walker Corporation's proposal to excavate the Ralphs Bay Conservation Area at Lauderdale and construct a canal style housing estate in the bay.

SRB's constitutional objectives are to oppose this and any other inappropriate developments at Ralphs Bay, to work towards enhanced protection of the natural, aesthetic and community values of Ralphs Bay and to promote an approach to coastal planning in Tasmania that will prevent future inappropriate developments in coastal areas.

SRB provides well researched information to appropriate bodies and maintains an open information base for supporters with up-to-date information on the progress of decision making regarding the proposal.

In support of its stated objectives, SRB has networked widely, researched many issues and maintained a strong public information campaign through media liaison, public information evenings with expert speakers, community expo days, rallies in City Hall, information stalls in the community and at the Coast to Coast Conference, newsletters, political lobbying at all governmental levels and preparation of numerous submissions.

SRB was the Community Groups Project winner for the 2005 Dr. Edward Hall Environment Awards and was inducted into the Hobart City Council Hall of Fame.

This web site holds information pertaining to Save Ralphs Bay Inc. activities since its inception in 2004. To locate information, check the Site Navigation menu above or scroll for chronological postings.

F.O.I. letter reveals ‘IN-PRINCIPLE’ commitment to sell Ralphs Bay crown land to Walker Corp

image
written by: SRB Inc.

Save Ralphs Bay Inc is extremely disappointed the State Government was not more up-front with the peninsula community about what steps had already been taken to progress the Walker proposal.  Correspondence released this week under F.O.I. reflects poorly on the transparency of the process, and raises questions over whether the government has dug itself into a big, potentially costly, pit over Ralphs Bay . . .
