THANK GOODNESS FOR THE UPPER HOUSE!
Dear Ralphies and supporters
It has been a two week rollercoaster ride for SRB Inc. in both Houses of State Parliament and, last Thursday, at Parliament House in Canberra.
The upshot of it is, we are bound for the RPDC and a Project of State Significance (PoSS) assessment, but WITH the Ralphs Bay Conservation Area as we know it, intact. Thanks to the concerted lobbying of Legislative Councillors - and the brave resistance of Labor MLCs, Lin Thorp, Allison Ritchie and Terry Martin - the Lennon Government did not succeed in removing the sandflats from the Conservation Area. That’s a huge plus. Now it will be up to the proponent to convince the RPDC, against all the weight of available science, that the 90 hectares Walker wants is of negligible conservation value. It’s going to be difficult for them, but we’ve also got to make sure by being super organised and effective in gathering together the evidence and experts for our case.

RALPHS BAY CONSERVATION AREA - LEGAL ARGUMENTS IN BRIEF
RALPHS BAY CONSERVATION AREA
Legal Arguments in Brief
Background
On 4 July last year, then Environment Minister, Judy Jackson, sought to ‘clarify’ the boundary on advice from the Solicitor General and issued a statement to the effect that the Ralphs Bay sandflats to low water mark were no longer included within the Conservation Area.
The State Government is attempting to change the boundary of the Conservation Area as a direct result of an approach from the Walker Corporation’s legal adviser in late June/early July 2005.
