Mr Welford said, "The 13-part series will return to shoot on location at Mission Beach in Far North Queensland and also at the Warner Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast from September.
"The Bligh Government is providing production, development and investment funding for the third series through the Pacific Film and Television Commission (PFTC).
"The third series has a $17 million budget and looks set to create around 400 jobs
"With veteran television producers Hal and Di McElroy (Blue Heelers, Water Rats) at the helm, Sea Patrol is a high quality Australian television series," he said.
"The success of a program like Sea Patrol is evidence of the high quality of production talent in Queensland and also the variety and beauty of our locations.
"Queensland has proved itself as a location of choice for TV and film producers.
"This reputation will be further enhanced when drama series The Strip, another Queensland-based production which has received PFTC production incentives, makes its much-anticipated debut on the Nine Network later this year."
The two previous seasons of Sea Patrol were met with a rare fondness by Aussie viewers.
Sea Patrol aired on Mondays at 8.30pm, previous seasons cast included John Batchelor, Saskia Burmeister, Matthew Holmes, David Lyon, Lisa McCune Jay Bunyan, Kristian Schmid, Ian Stenlake, Jeremy Lindsay Taylor, Steve Bisley, Kirsty Lee Allan, Josh Lawson and Morgan O'Neill.
