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.

LENNON CABINET DECIDES NOT TO DECIDE … JUST YET

written by: Cassy O'Connor - Communications - SRB Inc.

In a small victory of sorts for Ralphs Bay, the Lennon Cabinet has been split over the Walker Corporation’s request for Project of State Significance Status (POSS). The decision to defer debate at the Cabinet table is a signal the political heat is only intensifying.

Save Ralphs Bay Inc is in no doubt the Bay was on Cabinet’s agenda for Monday 15 August 2005. Yet, on Monday morning, Ministers had not received the minutes on the Walker request.

D - DAY FOR THE BAY?

written by: Cassy O’Connor - Communications - SRB Inc.

The Lennon Cabinet is widely tipped to meet today to decide whether to endorse or reject Tasmania’s first canal housing plan.  When it does sit down to discuss the Environment Minister’s submission, its members might first acknowledge that the South Arm peninsula community was offered a choice when the Walker Corporation ‘vision’ bubbled up in March 2004.

Tasmanians should not accept the disingenuous line that the only two options are assessment in the Resource Planning and Development Commission as a Project of State Significance or, equally worrying, in the hands of the Clarence City Council. The Premier and the Environment Minister both assured us that public feeling would be weighed in any decision on whether to allow this proposal through to the formal planning process. A sizeable community cross-section has made its feelings very plain.

Cabinet has the right, the legal and policy power, to say to Walker Corporation; “We do not support this development because a significant proportion of the community does not support it. And, because Tasmania is a democracy.”

A letter to Mr Lennon with love, for the bay…

The Lennon Labor government will decide within the next month whether to accept Walker Corporation’s request for Project of State Significance (POSS) status for its canal estate and marina proposal on the Ralphs Bay mudflats.

Please act now, then tell your family and friends and tell them to tell their friends to ring the offices of Labor members, and to write, and say…”Take your hands off Ralphs Bay!”
