Communities

Noosa Heads is the principal focus for visitor accommodation and services in Noosa. Noosa National
Park, Main Beach, surf off the headlands and Hastings Street and Noosa Junction are the key visitor
attractions. Noosa Heads consists of various smaller communities defined by topography and age of
development.

Noosa Hill and Cooloola Estate are both close to the commercial and recreational opportunities of
Hastings Street and Noosa Junction and offer breezes and views over Laguna Bay or the Eastern
Beaches. For this reason both hills were established for detached housing before lower lands, with
most of the building form being 2 storey as would be expected in an area of slopes and views. Detached
houses still dominate Cooloola Hill although much of Noosa Hill has subsequently been redeveloped for
units or resort complexes.


Little Cove has a well vegetated setting with ready access to Noosa National Park, Hastings Street and
the surf, making it much sought after. Development here is not as visually exposed as other parts of
Noosa Hill and the topography is not as steep. Buildings represent a cross section of ages and styles


Noosa Sound, a constructed canal estate combines ready access to Hastings Street, the Noosa River
and Ouamby Place with watercourse frontage. Detached houses dominate and are generally large
masonry buildings that address the water where located on a canal.

Noosa Springs is a newer gated residential estate focused on a golf course and associated recreation
and social opportunities. Villas are of consistent masonry and tile roof construction reflecting a
Mediterranean style. Noosa Springs is expected to expand with significant visitor accommodation and
sporting and recreational facilities.
