Save Ralphs Bay Inc.

Download: Christmas wine order -- Pudding & cake kit order

Dear Save Ralphs Bay Supporters
Eat, drink and be merry whilst also helping us give the RPDC panel an alternative viewpoint to the Walker Corporation’s story on Ralphs Bay. 2009 is going to be a BIG YEAR. We have so much work to do in co-ordinating all the expert witnesses and legal representation in the RPDC’s assessment of Walker Corporation’s canal estate proposal for the Ralphs Bay Conservation Area. It is going to cost big dollars! Please help us to pay for this by buying our Christmas products.
Send both order forms to: SRB Inc, PO Box 161, Rokeby 7019 with your cheque, cash or credit card details, by the closing date, Monday 27 October.
Your wine and Eumarrah orders will be available 2 weeks later at 163 Bayview Road, Lauderdale, by arrangement with Bill Edmunds, 6248 9479.

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.
