The Hodgman Liberal Government welcomes the Commonwealth Government’s offer of the HMAS Darwin as a potential dive wreck attraction.
Now that access to the ship has been confirmed, the Government will undertake the necessary due diligence to assess the total cost to the State associated with the vessel’s scuttling, prior to making a final decision whether to proceed or not.
The Government will continue to work with the Commonwealth on funding arrangements for the vessel’s scuttling and any potential dive site.
