Roads Noosa Heads is the tourist heart of Noosa district, with many restaurants and hotels. The main street is Hastings Street, which lies directly behind the seashore. The shire's tourism exponentially grew shortly after the second world war, when gold miners from Gympie took vacation in the Noosa Shire. Evidently, roads around Noosa are named after Gympie landmarks. Such roads include Gympie Trce and Mary St. By the mid 1990s, Noosa Heads had flourished into a well known tourist destination, marked both by domestic and international travel guides.

De-Urbanism Noosa's expanding network of roads have a growing number of roundabouts. These traffic alternatives to traffic lights have become a well known trademark in the Noosa Shire. There are only three sets of traffic lights in Noosa and the Shire Council stands by its roundabout policy to minimise urbanism. Another course of action taken by the Shire Council, to minimise the possibility of an Urban Noosa, is a building restriction. With the exception of the Sheraton Hotel, no building in the Noosa shire is to be built with four floors or more. On top of this, a population cap has been endorsed to slow down Noosa's growing shire. A roundabout, rotary, or gyratory circus is a type of road junction (or traffic calming device) at which traffic streams circularly around a central island after first yielding to the circulating traffic. ...
