A Queensland coroner has delivered a report into the death of 17-year-old Charlize Zmuda, who was attacked and killed by a shark on Bribie Island last year.
Coroner Carol Lee found there were "appropriate" shark control measures in place at the time, including 18 drumlines offshore.
The coroner said there was no need for an inquest into the accident, citing no ongoing uncertainty or circumstances.
A Queensland coroner has found no need for an inquest into a shark attack that killed a 17-year-old girl north of Brisbane last year.
Charlize Zmuda was swimming at Woorim Beach at Bribie Island on February 3, 2025, when she was attacked.
Emergency services were called to the unpatrolled beach just before 5pm, but she could not be saved.
In her investigation, Coroner Carol Lee determined extensive right upper limb injuries, consistent with a bull shark attack, were the cause of Ms Zmuda's death.
The report examined the shark control measures in place at Woorim Beach at the time of the incident, and more broadly across Queensland.
Coroner Lee said the Department of Primary Industries confirmed the beach was an established location with the Shark Control Program (SCP), equipped with 18 drumlines positioned about 300 to 500 metres offshore.
"Nets were not used due to strong tidal currents. The drumlines had been serviced two days before the incident, on 1 February 2025, and were found to be fully operational," Coroner Lee wrote.
Coroner Lee noted only four sharks had been caught at the beach in the previous year, and a post-incident inspection found all equipment to be in working condition.
"Having considered information from the DPI, together with Queensland Government's response to shark control measures based on an independent and comprehensive analysis, I am satisfied that an appropriate shark risk mitigation framework is in place in an attempt to reduce the occurrence of shark attack risk at our coastline in the future, with the aim of protection of human life whilst maintaining environmental stewardship," Coroner Lee said.
The Queensland government delivered its 2025-2029 Shark Control Management Program Plan in May last year, which includes more frequent servicing of equipment, drone trials and continued use of nets and drumlines.
Coroner Lee was "not satisfied" that it was in the public interest to hold an inquest, as there was no uncertainty or conflict of evidence and no unresolved circumstances.
"I am of the view that publishing these finding on the Coroners Court of Queensland website may be a sufficient mechanism to draw attention to the circumstances of this death so as to prevent deaths in similar circumstances happening in the future," Coroner Lee wrote.
