About Weyba Downs

Weyba Downs is a small rural locality in the Sunshine Coast Region of Queensland, located approximately 143 kilometres north of Brisbane and just west of the popular Noosaville area. The locality covers 6.1 square kilometres of semi-rural land between the communities of Doonan and Noosaville, at coordinates placing it in the heart of the Noosa hinterland. With a population of 352 residents recorded in the 2021 Census and a median household income of around 0,594, Weyba Downs offers a quiet, semi-rural alternative to the busier coastal suburbs nearby.

Weyba Downs is situated on the Sunshine Coast, where residents enjoy easy access to the renowned Noosa National Park, the Noosa River and its associated waterways, and the boutique shopping and dining of Hastings Street and Noosaville just minutes away. The suburb's semi-rural setting, with its mix of small acreage blocks and bushland, appeals to those seeking a relaxed Sunshine Coast lifestyle away from the higher-density coastal strip. Public transport to Noosaville and the broader Sunshine Coast network is available, though a car remains the most practical way to get around.
