Phillip Island's penguins now have a rehab centre to support them.
PHILLIP Island's little penguins are in safe hands with the official
opening of the island's new wildlife rehabilitation centre.
Environment Minister Ryan Smith said the centre had the capacity to
care for up to 1500 little penguins and other injured wildlife."The centre will provide an outstanding level of support for the Phillip Island little penguin colony and is a credit to the hard work of the local community and staff at the Phillip Island Nature Park," he said.
The penguin parade attracts more than 500,000 visitors each year and pumps more than $107 million into the Victorian economy.
