Media statements from SaveRalphsBay.org
With a fortnight remaining of the âcommunity consultationâ period for the proposed Ralphs Bay canal estate development, the developer has disappeared from view.
Walker Corporation closed its temporary Lauderdale shopfront on 23 May and has not been seen in the area since. The supposed deadline for comment to Walker is 22 June.
Save Ralphs Bay Inc believes Walker Corporationâs actions to date demonstrate it is insulting rather than consulting the community. Chair, Bill Edmunds, said the consultation process has made many community members feel disenfranchised and angry. âThey believe, and I share the view, that the developer has treated this community with contemptâ. . .
