Near drowning

Sunshine Coast University Hospital have provided an update on the condition of two people involved in a near drowning at Noosa on Wednesday.

A spokesperson said the adult male was in a stable condition.

A Surf Life Saving spokesperson told Noosa Today their lifeguards were not involved in the incident, which occurred either near the Dog Beach near Noosa Woods or beachside on Wednesday about 1pm.

Noosa Today has also been told it involved a family four, and a number of Queensland Ambulance Service vehicles were in the area and responded as soon as possible.
