                                                    Physical Setting

                                                    The Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality is situated in the southern part of the former Noosa Shire.
                                                    Much of the locality lies within the catchment of Six Mile Creek, which leads to the Mary River. Lake
                                                    Macdonald is the primary source of water supply for the coastal urban areas of Noosa and the rural
                                                    towns and villages of Cooroy, Pomona, Cooran and Cooroibah. For this reason development within the
                                                    catchment has been restricted to protect water quality and its associated environmental values. The
                                                    opportunity for further subdivision and development within the water catchment is limited and much of
                                                    the land will remain as open space.

                                                    The following features generally define the locality—

                                                    •        Ringtail Creek and State Forests in the north and north-east;
                                                    •        Sunrise Road in the south-east;
                                                    •        the former Shire boundary in the south;
                                                    •        rural settlement on the ranges to the west of Cooroy; and
                                                    •        the Bruce Highway and the North Coast Rail line to the northwest.

                                                    The ranges on the periphery of the locality afford spectacular scenic vistas, the highlights of which are
                                                    Mt Tinbeerwah (situated just outside the locality) in the east, Mt Cooroy in the south, Black Mountain
                                                    on the western boundary of the locality and Mt Cooroora outside the locality to the north-west. Scenic
                                                    and environmental values are also attached to Lake Macdonald, the Six Mile and Ringtail Creeks and
                                                    their tributaries.

                                                    Heritage and environmental values are associated with the landforms and landscapes, including the
                                                    mountains, watercourses and significant stands of remnant vegetation.
