About Boreen Point

Boreen Point is a small rural locality in the Shire of Noosa, Queensland, situated on the southern shores of Lake Cootharaba approximately 165 kilometres north of Brisbane and 19 kilometres north of Tewantin. The locality occupies 5.26 square kilometres and recorded a population of 359 at the 2021 Census, with a median household income below the state average.
