Local HistoryFrom horse stud to golf estate
Noosa Springs takes its name from the natural fresh-water springs that existed on the site before development. The original 103-hectare property was previously known as Weyba Ranch, a quarter-horse stud on the banks of Lake Weyba that had fallen into receivership by the early 1990s.
Noosa architect Alan Starkey bought the site in 1992 with a vision for a golf-course residential community, and Noosa Springs officially opened in May 1999. The estate was developed in stages under a single master plan, which is why the consistent character buyers see across Noosa Springs today was designed in from the outset rather than developing over time.
