About Ringtail Creek
Ringtail Creek is a rural locality in the Shire of Noosa, situated in Queensland's northern Sunshine Coast hinterland approximately 25 kilometres north-west of Noosa Heads. Covering around 35 square kilometres, the locality's north-eastern boundary follows the Noosa River where it flows from Lake Cootharaba, placing it within one of the most picturesque natural corridors in South East Queensland. With a population of 203 residents across 73 dwellings, it is a small and sparsely settled community with a strong bushland character.
Ringtail Creek offers a tranquil, nature-immersed lifestyle within easy reach of the Noosa region's many attractions, including Lake Cootharaba, the Great Sandy National Park, and the Noosa Everglades. Residents seeking everyday amenities typically travel to Tewantin or Noosaville, both within about 20 kilometres. The locality attracts those who value privacy, acreage living, and a close relationship with the natural environment, while still being connected to the recreational and lifestyle offerings of the broader Noosa area.
Ringtail Creek falls under postcode 4565 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Noosa electorate.
