Source-derived summary

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' and is a state-controlled district road (number 142) for most of its length.

Route description

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.

Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 198-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Cooroy, Noosa and Road.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Cooroy–Noosa Road” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Cooroy, Noosa and Road provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 17, 2025.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
