External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
Noosa Council supported the delivery of a SharkSmart - SurfSmart community education campaign
in 2023 alongside DAF and The NBRF. The objective of the campaign was to increase awareness
on how ocean users may avoid interactions with sharks. This was achieved through workshops with
key stakeholder groups, and the distribution of community awareness material highlighting the
environmental factors which may increase the risk of shark presence and bites.
