Letter to Premier and Minster Shing

DearPremier / Minister,

​

RE: Save Victoria’s Heritage Fleet – Call for Government Action

​

We are writing to urge your immediate support for Victoria’s Heritage Fleet—the Alma Doepel, Enterprize, and Steam Tug Wattle—as we face an escalating crisis regarding the future home of these irreplaceable vessels.

​

Despite months of discussions with Development Victoria, no viable plan or location has been offered to support the fleet’s safe, sustainable operation. Without urgent government intervention, we face the unacceptable risk of losing these restored and operational heritage ships from Victorian waters altogether.

Each vessel contributes to:

  • Youth development and education

  • Cultural tourism and maritime heritage

  • Hands-on training and mental wellbeing programs

We are calling for:

  • A permanent home for the fleet within metropolitan Melbourne

  • A master planning process for a maritime heritage precinct

  • Government recognition and action before these assets are lost

​​

We will be commencing a public and media campaign to rally support across Victoria. We ask for your voice and leadership now—before it’s too late.

​​

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
