Noosa Heads, Administrative division in Queensland, Australia
The coastal township of Noosa Heads extends along Laguna Bay, featuring the Noosa National Park and residential areas at elevations up to 146 meters.
The region transformed from timber industries in the 1890s to establish itself as a coastal destination with the formation of the Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club in 1927.
The name Noosa originates from the Aboriginal Kabi language, with the area maintaining strong connections to Gubbi Gubbi country and indigenous heritage.
The Noosa Shire Council implements strict development regulations to maintain building heights and protect natural landscapes across the 870-square-kilometer administrative area.
The local government introduced a population management strategy in 1995 to control growth and maintain environmental standards within the coastal community.
