Discover Noosa Junction

Noosa Junction (known locally as ‘The Junction’) is Noosa’s official business district. But it’s often overlooked as a place to visit by holiday-makers, being overshadowed by its big sister Hastings Street.

Favoured by Noosa locals as a one-stop precinct for all of their everyday needs, the Junction is a bustling hive of activity.

Take a wander and you’ll find an eclectic range of boutiques, cafes, bars, restaurants, art galleries, interior stylists, beauty salons, surf outlets, health food shops, and much more.

In addition to locally-owned stores, you’ll find more well-known brands such as Target, Coles, IGA, BWS and the Commonwealth and Westpac banks.

The Junction is also home to Noosa’s only cinema, as well as event venue The J, which has hosted local and international comedians, musicians and other acts over the years.

For gym junkies, Noosa’s only independently-owned and super-friendly Frank’s Gym on Lanyana Way offers casual passes for visitors from $24/day.

The Noosa Transit Centre is found in the heart of the Junction. You can jump on a bus here to anywhere in Noosa, or travel further south to Maroochydore, Brisbane and beyond.

During the Christmas school holidays, most of the buses around Noosa are free and there is a park + ride facility based in the Junction with plenty of parking available.

Boring Walls

Fans of murals should check out the ‘’boring walls’’ that have been transformed around the Junction by talented local mural artists.

Turkey Lane with its Noosa icon the brush turkey, Arcadia Street with its kingfishers (look up!), and others at CLO Studios on Lanyana Way (recently featured in a BMW TV campaign), and the Village Bicycle pub on Sunshine Beach Road (in its beer garden). The artists were assisted by students from a local school.
