Queensland Parks and Wildlife Rangers investigated a reported crocodile sighting at Noosa Spit on 20 July 2025 but found no evidence of a crocodile.
A follow-up search is planned for 21 July 2025. The investigation was prompted by a fisher reporting possible crocodile images on a boat's depth-sounder to the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation.
While the investigation is ongoing, people are asked to be vigilant around the water.
The Noosa area is considered atypical crocodile habitat, and any crocodile confirmed to be present will be targeted for removal from the wild.
Anyone who sees what they believe to be a crocodile in the Noosa area is encouraged to make a sighting report as soon as possible.
