GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 16 JANUARY 2017
The Noosa River flows south from the Cooloola Section of the Great Sandy National Park into
Laguna Bay and is fed by springs that drain major sand deposits. It is one of the few Queensland
Rivers with a continuous year-round freshwater inflow.
Much of the upper catchment is a largely intact coastal lagoon system and is predominantly natural
in character, shallow and subject to tidal influences. Lakes Cootharaba and Cooroibah are the
largest of these.
On its 83km journey to the sea, the river flows through the low-lying Noosa Plain into Lake
Cootharaba, where the Kin Kin, Cooloothin and Ringtail Creeks enter (refer Map 1). The hinterland
catchments of these creeks were subjected to clearing during the timber getting years of the 1850s-
1900s and are the largest areas of modified landscape within the Noosa catchment.
