The state's peak animal protection group will get $250,000 a year for the next four yeas under a continuing funding initiative announced by Local Government Minister John Castrilli today.

Mr Castrilli said the funds would help the RSPCA's state branch carry out its valuable work in promoting and protecting animal welfare.

“The grant will assist the RSPCA in its work by helping to fund ongoing education programs and to pay for general inspectors appointed to enforce the Animal Welfare Act 2002,” he said.

“This funding is a continuation of financial support that the State Government has provided to the RSPCA for a number of years.

“The RSPCA is a valued animal welfare society that has served the community since its establishment in 1892. It plays an important role in assisting to enforce the State’s animal welfare laws.

“As a Government we are very pleased to provide ongoing support to the RSPCA and wish it well in its continued efforts to protect animals.”
