Gazetted name Difficulty: Class 4 -26.39083, 153.09556 Noosa National Park · National Park lookout

Access verdict · Lawful, nothing to flag · weakest evidence in the chain: official spatial record

Public land — inside Noosa National Park. A published track reaches it.

Being at this point is lawful on the records below. Getting there is a separate question, answered route by route — and each route carries its own verdict and its own caveats.

What this place is A definition, then the record

A lookout — a place built or cleared to be looked out from — a platform, a railing, a break in the trees at the edge of a fall. The register names the viewing place itself, not what is visible from it, so what a lookout looks over is not something this site can read off the record.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of Laguna Lookout. The layer maps far more creeks than it has ever named, so that is a gap in the record rather than dry ground.

The point falls inside Noosa National Park, designated National Park. Official spatial — evidence class

The point falls outside every World Heritage property the state maps.

The rock at the surface is sandstone and mudstone, mapped as Tiaro Coal Measures (Jdt) , early jurassic - middle jurassic in age. The survey describes it as: Lithofeldspathic labile and sublabile to quartzose sandstone, siltstone, shale, coal, ferruginous oolite marker Official spatial — evidence class

The register maps one ecosystem over this ground, each with the share of it the register states.

Where it is

Map

Map of Laguna Lookout and the starts of the 10 published approaches to it, over the parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around them.

Every figure the map would draw — parcel references, distances, bearings and the crossing gap — is written out in full on this page, so nothing is only visible on the map. If the map does not load, nothing has been lost.

Is there a track to it Measured in plan and in section

The way reaches this place Official spatial — evidence class

The nearest published way passes 15 m from the recorded point. The gap crosses no contour, which is as level as this layer can evidence — not a survey saying the ground is flat.

Both gaps are small enough that the way is a way to this place, not merely one near it.

Approaches — one page each 10 published of 208 computed

208 ways in were computed and 10 are published here. The rest either reach the same ground from a few hundred metres away — the same drive and the same walk — or reach no lawful chain at all, which is only worth saying when nothing else does.

Before you go Published alerts as at the snapshot date

The authority that manages this area publishes its alerts as data, and it published none for here in the snapshot this page was built from. That is not the same as "open" — a snapshot is a moment, and conditions move faster than one.

On Country

Registered Aboriginal cultural heritage party: Kabi Kabi First Nation Traditional Owners Native Title Claim Group — this point falls inside the registered party boundary. Official spatial — evidence class

A cultural heritage party boundary and a native title claim are different legal things. This page never conflates them, and it publishes neither as a permission.

All land and waters in Queensland carry a duty of care under s.23 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) — including here. Cultural heritage site locations are restricted by law (ss.38–46), deliberately, for site protection. This site holds party boundaries only and will never republish site locations. Check the public register and, where in doubt, seek guidance from the Aboriginal party for the area.

Searching a register does not of itself satisfy the duty of care.

Rules here — derived from tenure National Park · statutory inference

This point sits on protected estate. In Queensland that ordinarily means no dogs or pets, no open fires outside provided facilities, no camping outside designated areas, no drones without authority, and nothing taken. These follow from the tenure and the legislation that governs it — they are statutory inference, not a copy of a sign.

Statutes relied on: Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Qld) and its regulations for protected estate; Water Act 2000 (Qld) s.21 for watercourse beds; Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) ss.23 and 38–46 for the duty of care and for why site locations are never republished here.
