New signs have been installed near Sunshine Beach reminding residents where they’re allowed dogs.
The signage runs between Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach, with ATV beach patrols also introduced.
It comes after the Queensland Government raised the fine for failing to keep a dog under effective control to $834.
Acting Local Laws Manager Clint Irwin says the extra signage makes it easier for residents to better understand where dogs are and aren’t allowed.
“We have over six kilometres of beautiful beaches between Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach where dogs can be exercised on and off leash, but outside these areas, beachgoers have a right to enjoy the beach free of dogs,” Mr Irwin says.
Noosa has nearly 10,000 registered dogs in the shire and 103 dog attacks were reported to Council in 2025.
