GREETINGS FROM THE NEW TASMANIA - Ralphs Bay: A Conservation Area in name only?
Sydney-based Walker Corporation plans to construct an 800 home, 200 berth canal estate and marina inside the Ralphs Bay Conservation Area at Lauderdale, Tasmania. The developer acknowledges a strong community backlash, but with a projected $400 million in the equation, it’s hoping to convince the Lennon Government to grant Project of State Significance Status to the Ralphs Bay Village Project.
Walker Corp has its eyes on Ralphs Bay in part because in NSW their proposal would be ILLEGAL. Canal estates have been found to cause the destruction of wetland and mangrove habitats, wildlife mortality, declining fisheries, poor water quality, rising acid-sulphate soils, loss of public access and the list goes on.
We have learned that money talks with brash insistence in the New Tasmania; that community groups like SRB Inc will not be given space in Premier Lennon’s diary, while Lang Walker and his business confidante, Labor’s Mr Fixit, Graham Richardson can waltz right in to that eleventh floor suite.
In the New Tasmania, Ralphs Bay is a Conservation Area in name only.....
