Save Ralphs Bay Inc.

Congratulations to Cassy O'Connor, our newest state MP. -- A message from Cassy.

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.

CANAL ESTATES *ARE* SCARY, MR KONS …

written by: SRB Inc.

Save Ralphs Bay Inc. today refuted absolutely claims made by Planning Minister, Steve Kons, that the group is engaged in a scare campaign.

SRB Inc. Communications coordinator, Cassy O’Connor, said while many Tasmanians are genuinely scared at the prospect of canal estates, SRB Inc. has always sought to present the known facts, while highlighting the values of Ralphs Bay, and raising questions posed by the Walker plan.

“Rather patronisingly, the Minister tells us to have faith in the planning process, and assures us our views will be heard.
