Sunshine Coast Water Police

The Sunshine Coast Water Police base is located in Mooloolaba, serving as a central hub for maritime law enforcement and emergency response. This facility houses specialised vessels designed for offshore patrols and search and rescue missions. Officers stationed here monitor the local coastline, ensuring compliance with boating safety laws and assisting vessels in distress. The proximity to the Mooloolaba Spit allows for rapid deployment into the Coral Sea and surrounding river systems. This station plays a critical role in regional safety, working alongside other emergency services to manage incidents on the water. Beyond enforcement, the team provides information regarding seasonal conditions and navigation hazards. Its strategic position near SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast makes it a visible presence for both commercial operators and recreational boaters. Public safety remains the primary focus of all operations conducted from this coastal facility.
