Small sharks have been sighted in Kedron Brook, with recent reports near Kalinga Park and the former Toombul Shopping Centre prompting renewed awareness.
Sightings Reported Along Kalinga Stretch

The reports point to activity along sections of the waterway that run through northern Brisbane suburbs.
Movement Through Tidal Waterways
The sightings have been linked to smaller sharks moving through tidal waterways. Kedron Brook connects to larger river systems, allowing marine species to pass through during tidal movement.
This type of activity is generally associated with natural water flow patterns.
Earlier February Sightings Provide Context
Reports of sharks in Kedron Brook were also noted in February 2026, including sightings near Kalinga Park in shallow sections of the creek. Those earlier observations prompted precautionary advice at the time to avoid entering the water.
The more recent sightings in March reflect continued activity within the same waterway rather than a single isolated event.
No Immediate Cause For Alarm
The sightings have not been described as an emergency situation. Instead, they have been presented as a reminder for people to remain aware when near waterways.
General caution has been encouraged around the creek, particularly in areas where access to the water is possible.
Familiar Sight For Some Locals

At the same time, others have expressed caution, particularly in relation to pets or people entering the creek.
Kalinga Waterway Remains Widely Used
Kedron Brook remains a shared recreational space across suburbs including Kalinga. The area is commonly used for walking and outdoor activity along the creek corridor.
The recent sightings have added to general awareness for those spending time near the water.
