Walker Corp.’s additional submission has landed
The Walker Corporation’s additional submission on the Draft Integrated Assessment Report (DIAR) for its proposed canal estate reveals the company’s bafflement and confusion.
Walker Corp. seems unable to conceive that, after reading its almost 7000 page Draft Integrated Impact Statement (DIIS), reading 547 submissions on the DIIS, Proofs of Evidence and Response Proofs and listening to submissions in daily hearings from June 17th – July 17th last year, the Tasmanian Planning Commission had heard enough when it wrote the DIAR.

Franklin candidates respond to Save Ralphs Bay questionnaire
NO Franklin state election candidate has expressed any support for canal estates in Tasmania, in responses to a pre-election questionnaire sent out by Save Ralphs Bay Inc.
Replying to the first question, “Do you support the construction of a canal housing estate inside Ralphs Bay?”, Ross Butler MHA stated categorically, “No. The very concept is abhorrent.”
