Invasive animals threatening our borders

Find out which invasive animals we need to be on alert for in our local government area.

Some restricted invasive animals are found in our neighbouring local government areas but not in the Sunshine Coast local government area. These are our regional alert species.

They all pose serious threats to our region so we need to keep them out. Early detection and reporting are key to preventing these species from establishing in our region.

    If you see a red-eared slider turtle report it to Biosecurity QLD within 24 hours.
