The past 12 months have continued to see strong growth and development across all areas of Surf Life Saving Queensland, solidifying our reputation as the state’s peak authority on coastal and aquatic safety. On the beach, SLSQ rolled out key surf safety initiatives and programs to increase its reach along the coastline, while steady growth was also recorded across other departments including membership development, surf sports, community awareness, and communications. SLSQ’s 2016/17 Annual Report provides a snapshot of these achievements and a review of all activities undertaken across the past 12 months in pursuit of our overarching vision of ‘Zero preventable deaths in Queensland public waters.’
