Ralphs Bay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ralphs Bay is a body of water in south east Tasmania, Australia. It is surrounded by the Tranmere and South Arm peninsulas. Sea access to the bay is from the Derwent River.

Since 2004, Ralphs Bay has been the focus of a local development debate. Walker Corporation had planned a major development in the bay near Lauderdale. The proposal included a canal development and a marina. It was heavily protested by the local community who were concerned that the development would destroy the habitat of native wildlife in the area and would reduce public access to the foreshore.
