its motto Statio Tutissima Nautis translates to \u201cthe safest anchorage for seafarers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of Kosovar refugees fleeing war in their homeland were housed at the former quarantine station on Point Nepean in the late 1990s, and a push to re-open the site to Syrians fleeing war in 2015 received the backing of Victorian Opposition Leader Matthew Guy, but it never eventuated due to the dilapidated state of the buildings and a lack of support services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Borough of Queenscliffe is proud to be a declared Refugee Welcome Zone\u2026 refugees in our community deserve
