24.01.2022 Keep Arm End for the community. See our vision drawings this sunday at the entry to the reserve. Arm End was reserved for its regional significance, cultural and natural and recreational opportunities for ALL the community

22.01.2022 RITE is happy to receive coverage about our concepts, drawings and plans for an alternative vision at Arm End. Our event was successful despite the wild weather. https://www.themercury.com.au//b288ac53b90237caf1753e4d513 RITE questions the validity of the developers comments in the article: The creation of a sanctuary for birds at the spit by the developers is laughable. Earlier this year, a consequence of the developer allowing contractors onto the Spit was the disappearan...ce of the the Pacific Golden Plover at a time when they were preparing for migration. Pipeline: it would be difficult to commence a pipeline. According to our information the proponents are yet to fulfill conditions in their pipeline development permit. We note that they said publicly in February this year they would commence the pipeline in 5 weeks. Weed control: We have observed a very careless approach to weed control, the slashed boxthorn has not been treated effectively and is currently vigorously growing back. The spraying of tussock has been very random, grass in seed was observed to be slashed by contractors.. Rehabilitation: the most significant rehabilitation is by the local South Arm Coastcare group prior to the signing of the lease. We do not consider the developers to value Arm End, if the golf course were to proceed it would destroy the very fibre of Arm End- the aboriginal heritage, the walking experience and estuarine ecology of the Derwent River.

19.01.2022 The walking experience at Arm End is unique. There are currently over 10 km's of walking tracks If a golf course was to proceed you would not be able to walk the circuit. The current track is interrupted by 12 of the planned fairways.

04.01.2022 Go to RITE'S petition@ www.rite.org.au/act-now-2 asking the Tasmania government to stop box thorn taking over the Arm End Reserve. Box thorn is an invasive weed which has been left to invade Arm End Reserve. For 5 years golf developers who lease this land have not managed or controlled this weed.

04.01.2022 Developers bungle weed management at Arm End Reserve www.rite.org.au/leaseholders-bungle-weeds Re-Imagine The End (RITE) has been calling for effective control of boxthorn in Arm End Reserve since the local community group formed in 2017. Since the lease was issued in 2014 thousands of young boxthorn have spread across most of the northern end of the reserve. There are hundreds of large boxthorn mainly along the Mary Ann Bay Derwent River coastline. Only token control ha...s been attempted by the leaseholder before this season. Re Imagine The End [RITE] said today that the Arm End Reserve lease holder is currently bungling weed management in the reserve and the state government must force them to do a proper job or revoke the lease. The weed control bungle adds to the further lack of progress, investment, permit complications and necessary approvals for use of effluent from Blackman's Bay.
