SERF Project

Sunshine Beach Emergency Rescue Facility (SERF)

An investment in beach safety, emergency response and our community’s future.


Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club is seeking community support for its proposed Sunshine Beach Emergency Rescue Facility (SERF), an important project designed to strengthen lifesaving and emergency response capabilities at Sunshine Beach.


The proposed purpose-built facility will provide secure storage and improved operational facilities for essential rescue equipment, including inflatable rescue boats, jet skis, rescue vehicles and lifesaving equipment.


Importantly, the facility will support three essential services:

  • Volunteer Surf Lifesavers – protecting beachgoers throughout the surf lifesaving season.
  • Noosa Council Lifeguards – providing professional lifesaving services 365 days a year.
  • Surf Life Saving Queensland Emergency Response Teams – supporting emergency response operations 24 hours a day.


Designed for our community

The revised design has been carefully developed to meet operational requirements while considering neighbouring properties and the natural coastal environment.

The proposal includes a modest building footprint, improved positioning alongside the existing clubhouse, coastal native landscaping and enhanced public shower and seating facilities.

The facility is designed to support existing lifesaving operations without generating additional traffic or parking demand.


We need your support!

Our revised development application is currently undergoing public notification through Noosa Shire Council, and we encourage members, residents, businesses and the wider community to support this important project.


Public submissions close Monday, 16 November 2026.
