Surf Life Saving Queensland (SLSQ) has launched a Surf Crew Car on the Sunshine Coast, aimed at educating the thousands of people who flock to the region’s beaches every week.

The new red and yellow vehicle is part of SLSQ’s Surf Crew Program, which is designed to educate members of the community who may not be familiar with Queensland’s coastal conditions.

SLSQ’s new app allows members and surf clubs to readily access all organisational information, events and news that relate to Surf Life Saving Queensland and it’s affiliates.

Prior to the beginning of the 2018/19 season Surf Life Saving Queensland refurbished the Sunshine Coast Surf Life Saving Communication Centre, SurfCom

The pilots and crew of the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter Service (WLRHS) are urging all recreational remotely piloted aircraft (drone) users, to know the risk they present to the service and other low flying emergency services.

The WLRHS’s Caloundra based aircraft, Lifesaver 46, was recently conducting a training operation off Kings Beach, Caloundra. Pilot and Safety Officer David O’Brien spotted a drone flying nearby while they were still winching the ‘patient’ into the cabin.
