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.

SRB Inc. and Birds Tas query claims regarding the Ralphs Bay Conservation Area - Joint media release

written by: Save Ralphs Bay Inc. and Birds Tasmania

The Walker Corporation has recently claimed in the Tasmanian media that the Ralphs Bay Conservation Area is a thin strip of land comprising approximately 7.3 hectares which “extends only to the shoreline and does not include the tidal sandflats.” Save Ralphs Bay Inc. and Birds Tasmania reject this assertion, and wish to draw attention to the murky history of the so‐called “Ralphs Bay Conservation Area (Clarification) Act 2006.”
