Ralphs Bay Values: natural, scientific, aesthetic, community Download the poster

On November 23 - 24, SRB was represented at the Derwent Estuary Science and Management Symposium, which was held at the CSIRO Marine Laboratories in Hobart. We displayed a stunning Ralphs Bay poster showcasing Ralphs Bay values and listing the legislative and policy framework relevant to management and planning for this wetland of international significance.
Production and printing of the poster were donated by a very generous SRB supporter!

About Save Ralphs Bay Inc.

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.
