More than a place to shop, Noosa Civic is where everyday life unfolds – from weekday errands and school-holiday fun to community moments that bring locals together. Jodie Cameron explores INside Noosa Civic…

A local favourite for groceries, last-minute gifts, fashion finds, family-friendly feeds and dining delights, Noosa Civic is a meeting place, family pit stop, weekday ritual and a thriving hub of community life waiting to be explored!

PARENTS & KIDS: NOOSA CIVIC HAS YOUR BACK!
As a mum of two active boys, I’m always on the hunt for a low-stress, kid-friendly haven and Noosa Civic offers families entertainment, convenience and a moment to pause, all under one roof!

Parent-friendly with free fun for kids
Enjoy FREE fun for your little ones with popular local children’s entertainer Miss Donna (or one of her team) every Tuesday from 9.30am to 10.30am. Visit the website to discover a different activity theme each week! Conveniently located at the foodcourt end of the centre, next to the under-5’s children’s play space and adjacent to the parents rooms where you’ll find everything you need (microwaves, junior toilets, private feeding areas) to keep calm and keep exploring.

Parking is easy too with signed ‘Parents-with-Prams’ carparks located at the front of the centre.

School Holidays & What’s On
When school’s out, Noosa Civic turns up the fun with free, family-friendly activities designed to entertain kids – and parents too. This Easter, from 4 to 17 April, discover circus-themed Putt Putt with a FREE gift (while stocks last). Come and play, and come back again another day.

Meet the Easter Bunny!
Hop along on Easter Saturday 4 April to meet the Easter Bunny who will be handing out chocolicious treats and non-choccie gifts for the young, or young at heart!

LIFE ADMIN MADE EASY!
Looking for fuss-free access to a Justice of the Peace? You’ll find friendly volunteers located at the food court entry, opposite Bikini Hut on Tuesday from 1pm to 4pm, and Thursday and Friday from 9.30am to 12.30pm. Walk-ins are welcome, no appointment needed.

Easy Accessibility
Noosa Civic is fully accessible, offering FREE wheelchair and motor scooter hire Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. Bookings can be made by calling 5440 7900. Accessible car parks, and dedicated accessible restrooms are available at either end of the centre.

A TRUE COMMUNITY HUB
Giving back is part of the fabric at Noosa Civic, from food rescue and book sharing to charity gift wrapping, the centre proudly supports local organisations and the people who call Noosa home.

The Little Community Library
Take, donate or swap books and connect with likeminded book-loving locals. Discover a new author, or help inspire someone to rediscover their book mojo. Located outside Woolworths next to The Little Community Pantry.

Mother’s Day Gift Wrapping
Sunday 9 May is Mother’s Day and nothing says ‘I love you’ more than a personally-selected and beautifully wrapped present. From 7-9 May, Noosa Civic provides the wrapping paper and ribbons, and for a small donation your gift will be wrapped with 100% of donations going to SunnyKids, helping vulnerable children and families access life-changing services.

Did you know?
Every Christmas Noosa Civic supports five local charities (KNGO, Red Cross, Cancer Council, Kate Rose Cottage Hospice & SunnyKids). In 2025, volunteers and the community raised $15,987 across the five charities. That’s some mighty feel-good gift-giving!

Local charities can also take advantage of casual mall leasing with pop-up sites available in the centre to raise awareness and engage with the local community.

The Little Community Pantry
Supporting OzHarvest Sunshine Coast and giving hope to those in need while helping protect the environment, donations can be left at The Little Community Pantry near Woolworths, including:

• Non-perishable foods: canned protein, vegetable and fruits, pasta, rice and cereal, long-life products, tea, coffee, biscuits, nuts and dried fruits
