Maroochy Waterwatch Inc

Croakie Oakie! Our frogs haven’t been washed away in the floods. Check out the endangered Giant Barred Frog that was spotted by Jacqui and Lenin in the South Maroochy headwaters. Beautiful gold eyes distinguish it from the Great Barred Frog and canetoads

Finally some legal action on development and sediment non-compliance!

Thanks for helping look after the waterways and I look forward to working with everyone next year.  Cerran Fawns.

Word is finally out that we can dob in a litterer from Dec onwards.  How it works is that it is an online reporting form that links peoples car/boat rego numbers with the report and the registered owner of the vehicle gets a fine in the mail.  The form is quite detailed and if you can get car type and distinguishing features of the person it all helps.   Click here to go to DERM’s website for form. Note that the online dobbing is not yet activated.

The Sunshine Coast Council is currently needing information from residents to determine if there is a need for establishing marine zones or if other interventions are required in the Maroochy, Mooloolah and Pumicestone estuaries.  To have your say on how the waterways should be managed please click on the link below.  Also on the webpage is more information about marine zones.  The survey should only take around 10 minutes to complete and closes 20^th November.
