The RSPCA is calling on newly appointed Queensland environment minister, Meaghan Scanlon, to make good on their proposal for a new wildlife hospital.

The hospital was first proposed in July by RSPCA Queensland and negotiations are currently on-going with the Brisbane City Council and state government for an appropriate block of land to be donated.

The RSPCA’s current hospital at Wacol was planned for a maximum of 8,000 animals, but at present rates will need to find room for over 32,000 animals by this time next year.
