About Noosaville

Noosaville is a picturesque riverside suburb on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, located within the Noosa Shire approximately 140 kilometres north of Brisbane. With a population of around 8,716, Noosaville covers a generous 25.8 square kilometres and is known for its relaxed, resort-style atmosphere. The predominant age group is 70-79 years, reflecting its popularity with retirees, though a growing number of sea-changers and remote workers are reshaping the demographic mix.

Often described as the heartbeat of Noosa, the suburb's northern esplanade borders the scenic Noosa River along the famous "Golden Mile" of Gympie Terrace, lined with restaurants, cafés, and boutique shops. Residents enjoy water sports, riverside parks enhanced by a $5.8 million beautification program, and easy access to Noosa National Park and Noosa Heads. Noosaville attracts retirees, downsizers, lifestyle-focused professionals, and holiday-home investors drawn by the combination of natural beauty, premium amenities, and a laid-back coastal community.

Noosaville falls under postcode 4566 and is governed by Noosa Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Noosa electorate.
