Cooroy–Noosa Road is a continuous 12.5-kilometre (7.8 mi) road route in the Noosa local government area of Queensland, Australia. It is signed as State Route 6 for most of its length. [1] It is a state-controlled district road (number 142) for most of its length. [2] [3]
The road, known locally as Diamond Street, starts at an intersection with the Cooroy Connection Road, known locally as Elm Street, in the locality of Cooroy. It runs east for a short distance before leaving Diamond Street, where it turns north-east as Tewantin Road. It then turns east as it leaves Cooroy and enters the locality of Lake Macdonald, where the name changes to Cooroy–Noosa Road. Continuing generally north-east by east it crosses Lake Macdonald and Tinbeerwah, where it passes the exit to Sunrise Road to the south-east, before entering Tewantin. At an intersection with Gyndier Drive to the south-west it changes from state-controlled to council responsibility. Reaching a roundabout intersection with Beckmans Road to the south, Cooroy–Noosa Road continues north-east while State Route 6 turns south. The road continues north-east and east, reaching a roundabout intersection with St Andrews Drive to the south. From there it runs north-east to an intersection with Butler Street, where it ends. [1] [4]
From Butler Street a series of roads and streets carry traffic through Tewantin and Noosaville to Noosa Heads, a further 8 kilometres (5.0 mi), ending at a roundabout intersection of Noosa Drive, Sunshine Beach Road and Grant Street. These streets are: Butler Street, Poinciana Avenue, Sidoni Street, Doonella Street, Memorial Avenue, Hilton Terrace, Gympie Terrace, Weyba Road, and Noosa Drive. [5] [4]
The road is fully sealed to at least a two lane standard. [4] It is part of the shortest route to Noosa Heads from Gympie and all points north or west of Gympie. [6]
A new two lane roundabout to replace the previous intersection with Beckmans Road was opened late in 2022. It is the first stage of a project to enable more traffic to bypass the streets of Tewantin. [7]
In 2019 a planning study to determine possible improvements to this road was completed. [8] Also in 2019 a study considered options to upgrade two intersections in Cooroy. [9]
The following state-controlled intersects with Cooroy–Noosa Road:
Location | Bruce Highway, Cooroy to Bruce Highway, Black Mountain |

Length | 7.9 km (4.9 mi) |
Route number | 6 |
Cooroy Connection Road is a state-controlled district road (number 145), part of which is rated as a local road of regional significance (LRRS). [2] [3] It leaves the Bruce Highway in the south of Cooroy, runs north through the town, and rejoins the highway in Black Mountain, a distance of 7.9 kilometres (4.9 mi). Part of it is signed as State Route 6. [10]
Cooroy became the centre of a timber industry from 1863, with two sawmills soon established. As land was cleared it was used for dairying and fruit growing. Cooroy railway station was opened in 1891. [11] The Bruce Highway passed through the town until 1994. [12]
In 1869 Tewantin was a timber town and the river port for the Noosa district. [11]
In the 1800s, Noosa Heads was a centre for the timber and milling industries. In the late 1920s a tourism industry developed, with cafes and tourist accommodation being built along the beachfront. [13]
All distances are from Google Maps. [1] The entire road is within the Noosa local government area.
