In April, the National Trust made a submission to Heritage Victoria regarding a proposal by the City of Bayside to stabilise the National Heritage Listed shipwreck in Half Moon Bay, the HMVS Cerberus, with concrete to prevent the anticipated catastrophic collapse of the wreck, which would impact on its visibility within the landscape. Risks to public safety are also a factor. Our submission has also advocated for a reversible solution to be pursued, in line with Burra Charter principles, and for interpretation of the wreck to be improved. Heritage Victoria is now considering public submissions and will make a determination in the coming months.
