 Roma BRITNELL (South-West Coast) (14:54): (1347) My constituency question is to the Minister for Environment. When will my community in South-West Coast see construction begin on the promised wildlife hospital and see its doors open to support the carers and the land, coastal and marine animals who desperately need it? In 2023 the government committed $4.7 million to establish this vital facility, yet more than two years later there is no timeline, no consultation and no visible progress. Meanwhile the Allan Labor government has just announced a new wildlife hospital for Kyabram Fauna Park, backed by $2 million. That is welcome, but so is a timeline for the wildlife hospital project in South-West Coast. Our region is home to some of the most dedicated wildlife carers in the state. Places like Mosswood Wildlife are doing amazing work under immense pressure. They need real support, not just promises. This better not be another broken promise.
