Date Time Upgrade to Whyalla facility now in pipeline Since 1992, RSPCA South Australia has called the facility at 7 Cook Street Whyalla home. Surrounded by barbed wire and built out of concrete besser blocks, the building has resembled more a fortress than an animal shelter (in fact, it actually was a bikies fortress in a former life). Thankfully, the old eyesore is about to get a long-overdue facelift, with Chief Executive Officer Paul Stevenson announcing plans to upgrade the facility within the next 12 months. “It’s well and truly beyond its use-by date, and we would like to get the ball rolling on this as soon as possible,” explained Paul.
