Marcoola, Queensland
Download coordinates as:
Marcoola is a coastal town and locality in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, the locality of Marcoola had a population of 3,355 people.
The locality is bounded to the east by the Coral Sea and to the west by the Maroochy River, forming part of the Maroochy River Catchment Area. The town is in the north-east corner of the locality. The eastern coastline is a long sandy strip known as Marcoola Beach (26°35′45″S 153°05′52″E / 26.5958°S 153.0977°E).
Sunshine Coast Airport is located within the south of the locality on Friendship Avenue, off Airport Drive (26°35′35″S 153°04′58″E / 26.5930°S 153.0829°E).
There are two sections of Mount Coolum National Park within the locality, one in the north of the locality and one in the south. A section of the Maroochy Wetlands Conservation Park is in the south-west of the locality adjacent to the river (26°36′17″S 153°03′19″E / 26.6046°S 153.0553°E).
The Sunshine Motorway enters the locality from the south (Pacific Paradise) and proceeds north (through the west of the locality), exiting the locality to the north (Mount Coolum). It provides a route through the locality, but not access to it. The David Low Way enters the locality from the south-east (Mudjimba) and forms part of the south-east boundary of the locality before proceeding north (through the east of the locality), exiting to the north (Mount Coolum). It provides the main access to the locality.
Land use in Marcoola is mixed. Along the eastern coastal area, the land use is predominantly sububan residential blocks and larger holiday accommodation facilities. The west of the locality is farmland, predominantly used for crop growing (mostly sugarcane). There is a commercial and industrial area in the south of the locality near the airport, as well as protected areas of national parks and conservation parks.
The name Marcoola was a coined name and reflects its location between Maroochydore and Coolum.
