THANK YOU for your fantastic support of our three SRB events over the last week or so. It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Lauderdale and South Arm Community Forums and the Rally in City Hall on Tuesday.

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.”

Issues raised by Dr Eric Woehler at the recent Save Ralphs Bay Rally

“More than 7% of the population of Australian Pied Oystercatchers has been recorded in Ralphs Bay at one time – the area is the second-most important site for the species in Australia in terms of numbers (the most important is the far Northwest of Tasmania).” Click to download this document as a pdf: http://www.saveralphsbay.org/pdf/BirdsTasRalphsBayMar09.pdf

In a lunchtime Rally Against Canal Estates held today, over 400 Save Ralphs Bay supporters demonstrated their opposition to the Walker Corporation’s proposal to excavate 53% of the internationally significant Ralphs Bay sandflats at Lauderdale.

Just a reminder of our major Rally in the City Hall this Tuesday lunchtime, 12.30 - 1.30.
We have a great lineup of inspiring speakers, including Dr. Peter Hay from UTAS, Dr. Eric Woehler from Birds Tasmania and Cassy O’Connor MHA.
Please join us, and bring your friends and colleagues.

Dr. Eric Woehler (Birds Tasmania), and representatives of Save Ralphs Bay Inc. will provide information relating to the impacts of the proposed Lauderdale Quay canal estate development, and how to make a submission to the RPDC. They will also answer questions from the audience. Download as pdf at http://www.saveralphsbay.org/pdf/SRBMedia11_03_09.pdf
