                                                                                  Character statement of the locality
                                                  Physical Setting
                                                  The locality of Tewantin & Doonan is situated in the south-eastern part of Noosa Shire. It consists of
                                                  the town of Tewantin and its associated residential areas, but also includes rural and rural settlement
                                                  areas in the southern and western parts of the locality, and a considerable amount of protected open
                                                  space. Boundaries of the locality are generally defined by—
                                                      State Forest, McKinnon Drive and Cooroibah Creek and Lake Cooroibah in the north;
                                                      the Noosa River and Lake Doonella in the north-east;
                                                      State Forest, Eenie Creek and Lake Weyba in the south-east;
                                                      the Shire boundary in the south; and
                                                      Sunrise Road and Tinbeerwah Road in the west.
                                                  The locality is part of a complex system of lowlands and uplands, draining through a variety of sensitive
                                                  wetlands, watercourses and catchments. Most of the locality is part of the coastal lowland system
                                                  through which the Noosa River and its associated lakes and tributaries flow. Its original landform
                                                  characteristics are typical of such lowlands, with gentle undulations, relatively poor soil in the lower
                                                  areas, marginally improved soils on the low ridges and a high water table. The Noosa River, a number of
                                                  its tributaries and its lakes are fringed by mangroves.
                                                  While the town of Tewantin is formed on gentle slopes, land to its north and south has typical lowland
                                                  characteristics. These characteristics result in relatively poor drainage with areas frequently
                                                  inundated by floodwaters or becoming boggy during, and for long periods after, wet weather. These
                                                  lands drain to Cooroibah Creek and Wooroi Creek in the north and Eenie Creek and Keyser Creek in the
                                                  south.
                                                  The soils, high water table and slow-moving drainage within these lowland systems yield a diverse
                                                  landscape fabric. The paperbark wetlands, mangroves, heath lands and scribbly gum forests feature
                                                  significant values, particularly along the broad drainage paths and in areas with a high water table. They
                                                  are also attractive to a wide range of wildlife.
