Save Ralphs Bay Inc.

Mustering for early morning protest at Ralphs Bay. Friday, June 27th 08

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.

Tasmanians speak out against new Walker plan in “letters to Premier Lennon”

written by: SRB Inc.

STOP PRESS:  Save Ralphs Bay Inc set up its mobile operation at Salamanca Markets on Saturday 23 July, collecting personal messages for the Premier Paul Lennon.

We spoke to hundreds of concerned Tasmanians over the course of the day.  Their feelings range from disbelief, to anger, cynicism and a strong desire to see some evidence the Lennon Government is not profoundly deaf to community concerns.

WALKER PLAN STILL UNACCEPTABLE FOR TASMANIAN COASTLINE AND COMMUNITY

written by: SRB Inc.

-Media Release-

The new, ‘modified’ Walker proposal is no more acceptable than the first ambit claim put in by the developer in March last year, Save Ralphs Bay Inc said today.

SRB Inc spokesperson, Cassy O’Connor, said despite its lesser scale, the Lauderdale Quay development proposal is environmentally and economically reckless and should be rejected in the interests of democracy and responsible government.

“No-one should be fooled into believing this is an example of the developer listening to the community.  It is standard modus operandi for big developers to present a proposal – which was never Plan A – to provoke a huge response, then go back to what they basically planned for all along and pretend to have taken on board concerns.

“If Walker Corporation had really listened to what Tasmanians are saying about what they want for their future, it would understand we don’t want or need the Gold Coast spoiling our coastline.
