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.

COMMUNITY GROUP TO REDOUBLE ITS EFFORTS AS WALKER CORPORATION FACES TOUGH ASSESSMENT TEST

written by: SRB Inc.

The community group charged with preventing Tasmania’s first canal housing estate from being constructed inside the Ralphs Bay Conservation Area today expressed its belief that the Walker Corporation can be defeated in the Resource Planning and Development Commission (RPDC).

Responding to the release late yesterday of the RPDC Draft Scope Guidelines and the developer’s Project Scope, Save Ralphs Bay (SRB) Inc. said while the group still did not believe the Walker proposal should even be in the formal planning system, now that the assessment is underway SRB Inc. will invest all its available time, money and human resources in beating billionaire Lang Walker’s plan.
