Doonan Suburb Profile and Insights

Detailed Insights

Doonan occupies the green hinterland immediately inland from Noosa, positioned between Eumundi to the west, Noosaville and Tewantin toward the north-east, Weyba Downs and the Lake Weyba landscape to the east and Verrierdale to the south. It is close enough to the coastal urban area for residents to use Noosa’s shops, schools and employment every day, yet its built form remains overwhelmingly acreage, large detached houses and rural-residential roads separated by vegetation.

The locality is administratively divided between the Shire of Noosa and Sunshine Coast Region. This is more than a technical boundary. Properties on opposite sides of Doonan can be subject to different planning schemes, Council mapping systems, development codes, rates and infrastructure frameworks. Northern land is regulated through the current Noosa Plan 2020, while southern Doonan remains regulated through the operative Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014. Sunshine Coast Council is preparing a replacement planning scheme with an Eumundi-Doonan local-plan area, but the existing scheme remains the statutory framework until a replacement formally commences.

This dual-council arrangement is one of the most important details to understand when comparing Doonan property. Two houses can have the same postcode, similar land area and almost identical vegetation while sitting within different local government jurisdictions. A planning outcome obtained on one side of the locality should therefore not be treated as a precedent for another property without checking the relevant scheme.

The underlying landscape is equally varied. Doonan Creek and associated drainage lines move through lower country, while ridges rise through Duke Road, Panorama Drive and other western and central pockets. Mature eucalypt forest, subtropical vegetation, cleared lawns and former agricultural land occur in different proportions across the locality.

This topography helps explain why Doonan property is often marketed according to outlook rather than only land size. Elevated houses can gain views toward Noosa, Laguna Bay, the coastal plain, Mount Coolum and surrounding hinterland peaks, while valley properties can be almost completely enclosed by trees. Another site may have no distant view but offer broad usable paddocks, a dam and considerably easier vehicle access.

The history of rural and agricultural land use remains visible even though residential acreage is now the dominant property form. Older fruit growing, grazing and small rural enterprises gradually gave way to rural-residential subdivision and larger homes, but the resulting lot pattern was never uniform enough to create one standard Doonan block.

A substantial proportion of the modern market sits between approximately 5,000 square metres and two hectares. This range is large enough to create genuine separation between houses while still allowing properties to be managed primarily as homes rather than farms. Larger rural holdings remain, particularly along Sunrise Road, Eumundi-Noosa Road and selected outer roads.

The expression Golden Triangle is often used in local real-estate marketing for the high-value acreage country between Noosa and Eumundi, including parts of Doonan. It is not an official suburb, planning precinct or cadastral boundary. Its usefulness is simply in describing the concentration of high-quality acreage estates within relatively easy reach of Noosa Heads, Noosaville and Eumundi.

Valley Drive is one of the clearest examples of that established acreage-estate market. Holdings around approximately 5,000 to 8,500 square metres are strongly represented. Houses vary from older family acreage residences through major architectural homes, with pools, guest accommodation, large garages and mature tropical landscaping common.

The land along Valley Drive is not uniformly flat. Some properties occupy elevated or gently sloping sites with long outlooks, while others are organised around lower garden areas and substantial vegetation. House position within the block can therefore materially influence privacy and outlook even where neighbouring sites are almost identical in size.

The Noosa Valley Country Club occupies part of this broader Valley Drive environment and remains an operating boutique golf course. Properties near the course can gain landscaped or golf-course outlooks, although adjacency should be confirmed rather than assumed from a Valley Drive address. The course also creates an extensive open-space break within an otherwise heavily vegetated acreage landscape.

Meadow Court branches into another substantial residential estate environment. Holdings around approximately 7,000 to 8,000 square metres are represented, giving houses enough land for generous separation, multiple buildings and extensive vehicle storage. Contemporary examples include main residences accompanied by self-contained guest dwellings, workshops, caravan storage and large rainwater systems.

This multi-building pattern is particularly relevant in Doonan. A property can contain a main house, studio, cottage, office and shed, but the legal approval and permitted use of each building can differ. Bedroom counts in advertising should therefore be understood alongside building approvals and wastewater capacity rather than treating every finished room as equivalent residential accommodation.

Meadow Court’s larger lots also allow the domestic landscape to be divided into several zones. Pools and entertaining areas can sit close to the house, while sheds, vegetable gardens or guest accommodation occupy separate parts of the holding. Vegetation around boundaries provides additional screening that is difficult to reproduce on smaller residential land.

Panavista Court provides another established pocket with sites from roughly 5,000 square metres through more than 9,000 square metres. Housing includes conventional family acreage homes as well as very large contemporary residences. The court layout limits through traffic and gives the neighbourhood a more self-contained atmosphere than the Eumundi-Noosa Road corridor.

Landform within Panavista Court still varies. Some houses sit on relatively straightforward building pads, while others use split-level construction or elevated decks to respond to slope. The amount of usable lawn and the gradient of the driveway can therefore differ substantially between sites of similar area.

Viewland Drive contains another concentration of roughly 5,500-to-9,500-square-metre property. The street name reflects the outlook available from selected positions, and individual houses can overlook forest, valleys or local water features. Recent property evidence also includes architect-designed residences and large detached studios, demonstrating the higher architectural investment found through parts of Doonan.

The best Viewland positions use orientation and topography carefully. A relatively narrow cleared house platform can sit above a much larger vegetated slope, providing privacy and outlook while leaving only part of the title suitable for ordinary garden use. This can suit owners seeking forest and seclusion but requires a different maintenance approach from a broad flat lawn property.

Arbour Place is another established high-quality acreage pocket, with sites around 8,000 square metres represented. Large single-level houses, landscaped gardens, pools and substantial underground or above-ground water storage occur. The combination of large house footprint and significant land allows these properties to function as private residential estates rather than working acreage.

Bonavista Crescent extends this market through approximately 5,000-square-metre holdings and properties approaching two hectares. The larger sites create greater separation and can retain substantial forest around the domestic clearing. Contemporary five-bedroom homes, pools and extensive garaging are strongly represented.

Naturalist Place introduces another scale, including property around 1.4 hectares. This amount of land provides significantly greater internal separation between the house, sheds and boundaries while remaining within a planned rural-residential road network rather than an isolated farming district.

Whyandra Close, Penda Court, Foxtail Rise, Kyle Court and neighbouring roads continue this established estate pattern. Holdings from roughly 4,000 square metres through one hectare and more occur. Large residences with four, five or six bedrooms are common enough that the built area can be substantial, yet the surrounding land still generally provides greater privacy than a suburban house of equivalent internal size.

The physical quality of these properties often depends heavily on landscaping. Mature tropical and native gardens can screen neighbouring houses completely, frame pools and create a resort-style environment. Maintaining that landscape can involve irrigation, tree management and significant garden work despite the property not operating as a farm.

Wattlebird Drive provides one of Doonan’s more consistently usable acreage environments. Current and recent property evidence includes sites around 5,700 to 5,900 square metres as well as holdings approaching one hectare. Level or gently sloping lawn is relatively well represented, and several properties combine paddocks, pools, large sheds and productive gardens.

This land configuration can suit extended family households particularly well. Large houses, detached studios and broad vehicle areas can be accommodated without sacrificing most of the yard, while a bore or large rainwater system can support gardens and landscape irrigation on suitable properties.

Whipbird Place and related streets form part of the same residential environment. Sites around approximately 5,700 square metres are represented, with substantial five-bedroom houses and extensive garaging. These quieter streets are well separated from the busiest regional road while retaining quick access toward Noosaville.

Lenehans Lane changes scale along its length. Properties around approximately 4,000 square metres sit beside holdings around 7,700 square metres and one hectare. This gives it a wider property range than a single-purpose acreage estate.

The lane is especially practical for residents whose daily life is focused on Noosaville because its eastern position places the Sunshine Motorway, Noosa Civic and the urban road network relatively close. The home environment can still be screened by acreage and forest, creating a strong contrast between private rural-residential living and the commercial facilities only a short drive away.

Some Lenehans Lane properties were developed from the 1980s onward and have accumulated additions over several decades. A main house can now sit beside granny-flat-style accommodation, an extension, workshop, pool and multiple tanks. This history makes the approval status and condition of each component particularly relevant.

Wust Road offers another broad range. Holdings around approximately 4,100 square metres exist alongside sites around 5,500 to 6,500 square metres and properties above two hectares. Some are almost park-like residential blocks, while larger examples have more room for substantial secondary buildings and separated landscape zones.

The lower-maintenance end of Wust Road should not be confused with conventional suburban property. Even 4,000 square metres is approximately an acre of land, so mowing, vegetation management, drainage and fencing can remain significant despite the absence of livestock.

Redwood Road has a similarly varied rural-residential pattern. Recent examples include approximately 5,000-square-metre holdings as well as property around 1.7 hectares. Houses can be large and configured for extended family living, with several bathrooms, large workshops and broad outdoor spaces.

Laguna Grove provides another established acreage pocket with holdings around 8,500 to 8,800 square metres and examples approaching two hectares. Large five and six-bedroom houses are represented, reinforcing the role of Doonan as a market for substantial permanent family residences rather than only weekend retreats.

Parkdale Avenue, Marlock Court, Livistona Drive, Greentree Place and surrounding roads continue the roughly 5,000-to-9,000-square-metre pattern found across much of eastern Doonan. This repetition creates a recognisable residential-acreage belt even though individual subdivision stages, council boundaries and landforms vary.

Botanica Circuit contains another group of sizeable rural-residential properties, including sites above 6,000 square metres. The road environment is more deliberately residential than the larger rural corridors and often features heavily landscaped homes with a strong garden focus.

Duke Road has a stronger ridge-and-rural identity. Recent property evidence ranges from approximately 6,000 square metres through one hectare, 1.1 hectares, almost two hectares, 2.4 hectares and close to three hectares. This variation means neighbouring houses can differ materially in privacy and land-management requirements.

The higher sections of Duke Road are among Doonan’s strongest view locations. Suitable properties look across the Noosa hinterland toward Laguna Bay, the coastal plain and surrounding ranges. Elevation is a scarce property attribute, but it also brings more exposed weather, steeper internal roads and potentially greater engineering requirements.

A three-hectare Duke Road property can contain a relatively small cleared plateau around the house with the balance falling away through pasture or forest. Another property of only one hectare can be more level and provide considerably more immediately usable domestic land. This is a recurring Doonan theme: total area is less useful than the actual shape and composition of the site.

Duke Road also accommodates substantial sheds and vehicle storage because some properties have long histories of rural or semi-rural use. Multi-bay buildings can support caravans, boats, trades, workshops or equestrian equipment, subject to the lawful use of the property.

Panorama Drive branches into some of the locality’s most recognisable elevated acreage. Holdings around 5,000 to 6,100 square metres are common, with properties around 7,400 square metres and above 9,000 square metres also represented. Some sites approach two hectares.

The road has a notable concentration of architecturally ambitious and extensively renovated homes. Large glazed living spaces, elevated pools, broad terraces and separate studios are used to take advantage of the views and vegetation. Construction quality and architectural design can consequently account for a much larger share of value than in streets dominated by simple acreage houses.

Orientation is particularly important on Panorama Drive. A property with a north-eastern coastal outlook can have a very different light and weather pattern from a house facing into forest or toward the west. Tree growth on the property and adjoining land can also alter views over time.

View protection should never be assumed simply because a house currently has a panoramic outlook. The surrounding land remains separately owned and subject to its own planning controls, vegetation rights and development opportunities. The strongest view properties combine elevation with a broad legal and physical separation from neighbouring building areas.

Driveway quality is another key Panorama and Duke Road issue. A sealed or well-engineered driveway with manageable gradients materially improves ordinary use, moving access and emergency access. Steep gravel approaches can require more maintenance following heavy rainfall and may be difficult for low vehicles, trailers or service trucks.

Sunrise Road contains one of Doonan’s widest acreage spectrums. Recent residential examples around 4,400 to 8,500 square metres sit within the same broader corridor as rural holdings above ten hectares. The road also connects toward Tinbeerwah and the western Noosa hinterland, giving it a regional function beyond local property access.

The larger Sunrise Road holdings have a different character from the landscaped estate pockets. Extensive native vegetation, rural clearings, sheds and long driveways become more important, and the house can occupy a very small proportion of the overall property.

At more than ten hectares, the ownership experience moves firmly beyond maintaining a large garden. Internal roads, weed control, fencing, water, fallen vegetation and bushfire preparation can require machinery and regular attention. Large land area should therefore be selected because it serves a genuine lifestyle or conservation purpose rather than simply for greater numerical acreage.

Eumundi-Noosa Road contains another broad spectrum and is particularly important because it combines residential property with non-residential activity. Houses on approximately 6,000-square-metre blocks coexist with holdings around two, four and five hectares and larger service or business sites.

The main road provides the simplest access between Eumundi and Noosa but naturally produces more traffic exposure. Some houses are screened hundreds of metres behind vegetation, while others sit closer to the carriageway. Driveway visibility and turning conditions are particularly relevant where a property is used by several vehicles, customers or large trailers.

Historically, selected larger properties along the corridor have supported wineries, visitor accommodation, home-based enterprises or other rural businesses. The existence of these uses demonstrates the road’s mixed rural-service role but does not mean that an ordinary residential property can automatically be converted to the same activity.

The Doonan Valley Garden Centre and adjoining landscape-supply businesses create a specialist commercial node along Eumundi-Noosa Road. These uses are consistent with the acreage and gardening character of the surrounding district and draw customers from well beyond the locality.

The Noosa Resource Recovery Centre occupies another substantial site on the corridor. It is Noosa Shire’s principal resource-recovery facility and includes recycling, waste-transfer and reuse functions. Its presence is an important land-use distinction for properties in the immediate area even though it does not define residential Doonan as a whole.

The Doonan on Beddington Road has established a prominent hospitality destination in the southern part of the locality. Its large landscaped site includes restaurant and bar areas, extensive gardens and family recreation. This gives Doonan a hospitality venue of regional scale without creating a conventional village centre around it.

Beddington Road itself belongs to a more accessible southern acreage environment near Eumundi-Noosa Road. It is also one of the roads served by current school-bus transport. Properties should be considered in the context of both nearby visitor activity and their own setback because a deeply screened acreage residence can remain quite private despite being close to a major venue.

Nyell Road provides another distinctive land use because Noosa Pengari Steiner School is located there. The independent school provides Prep to Year 12 education and is the only full school campus within Doonan itself. School traffic is consequently concentrated around its road environment at arrival and departure times rather than being spread through the rest of the locality.

The school’s presence is a genuine amenity for households choosing Steiner education, but government-school catchments remain separate and vary by address. Doonan’s local-government split does not itself determine school catchment, so current Department of Education mapping remains the correct source for government enrolment eligibility.

Housing architecture across the wider locality has no single dominant style. Some of the oldest surviving homes have rural timber or Queenslander influences, while 1980s and 1990s acreage houses frequently use low-set brick, masonry or lightweight construction with large verandahs and attached garages.

Renovation has transformed much of this earlier stock. Original houses have been opened toward pools and gardens, extended with master suites or offices and supplemented by new sheds or studios. On a large site, an extensive renovation can preserve mature landscaping and an established house position that would take years to reproduce on vacant land.

Newer prestige houses often use pavilion planning, high ceilings, extensive glazing and strong indoor-outdoor connections. Flat or gently sloping sites support broad single-level homes, while hillside properties can use several levels, cantilevered sections or separate pavilions to respond to the terrain.

The size of the residence should be considered against the land. A five-hundred-square-metre house can still sit comfortably on an 8,000-square-metre block, but it can bring correspondingly greater roof, pool, air-conditioning and maintenance requirements. Doonan’s prestige market is often as much about the scale of improvements as the acreage itself.

Secondary buildings are frequently significant. Large sheds can provide secure space for caravans, boats, machinery and home-based hobbies. Artist studios, offices and guest cottages are also common, reflecting a locality where the land allows separate uses to be physically divided from the main residence.

Approval status is particularly important on properties developed incrementally. A structure approved as a shed, studio or Class 10 building should not be treated automatically as lawful residential accommodation simply because it has a bathroom or finished interior. Current Council records should be checked through the relevant Noosa or Sunshine Coast authority.

Water infrastructure is another defining component. Rainwater storage can range from ordinary household tanks to systems exceeding many tens of thousands of litres. Some properties supplement this with bores or dams for irrigation and garden use where appropriate.

A bore can materially improve the ability to maintain large lawns and tropical gardens, but bore yield, water quality, pump condition and lawful use remain property-specific. The same applies to dams. Their presence can be useful for irrigation or habitat without making the property independent of rainwater for domestic purposes.

Domestic demand can be substantial on large houses. Several bathrooms, guest accommodation, pools and major gardens can place far more pressure on tanks and pumps than a modest acreage house, so infrastructure capacity needs to be considered in proportion to the actual household.

On-site wastewater treatment is common. The location of disposal areas can affect future pools, extensions, sheds and secondary buildings, particularly on steep or constrained sites where only part of the title is suitable for effluent disposal.

Solar generation is widespread and often substantial. Large roof areas make photovoltaic systems straightforward to accommodate, while pools, bore pumps, workshops and extensive air-conditioning can create significant household electricity demand. Existing solar capacity should therefore be compared with the overall property load.

Telecommunications are similarly address-specific. Rural-residential Doonan is close to major urban areas but tree cover and topography can still affect mobile reception and fixed-wireless performance. Home workers should check the service available at the house itself rather than assuming proximity to Noosaville guarantees urban-quality connectivity.

Working from home fits the physical property market particularly well. Large houses can support dedicated offices, and separate studios or workshops create a clear division between business and family areas. Any activity involving customers, employees, signage, deliveries or substantial vehicle movement should still be checked against the applicable planning scheme.

Horse ownership is possible on suitable Doonan acreage but should not be inferred from land area alone. The most practical properties combine level or gently sloping land, fencing, water, shade and float access. A 6,000-square-metre block may provide only limited horse capacity, while a two-hectare property can still be poorly suited if most of the land is steep forest.

The same distinction applies to hobby farming and food production. Large productive gardens, orchards and poultry are common lifestyle possibilities, but soil, sunlight, water and cleared land determine what can be established easily.

Native forest is a major asset for many owners. Mature vegetation creates privacy, cooler microclimates and substantial wildlife habitat, and some houses are effectively surrounded by a private bush reserve. The trade-off is more tree management, storm cleanup and bushfire preparation.

Doonan’s biodiversity value is reinforced by its position between major vegetated landscapes around Noosa, Lake Weyba, Verrierdale and Tewantin. Sunshine Coast Council’s Doonan Creek Environmental Reserve lies nearby in Verrierdale and protects hundreds of hectares within the broader Sunshine Coast-to-Noosa habitat corridor. It is a nearby recreation and conservation asset rather than residential land within Doonan itself.

Flood conditions are concentrated around lower land and drainage systems rather than uniformly across the locality. Noosa Council publishes dedicated Doonan flood mapping for its side of the locality, and Sunshine Coast Council maintains separate flood-hazard mapping for its jurisdiction.

A large property can contain mapped lower land while the house sits on a high and unaffected platform. Access still deserves separate attention because a driveway may cross the lower portion before climbing to the residence.

Steep-land and landslide considerations are most relevant through elevated terrain. Cut-and-fill, retaining walls, drainage, driveway construction and the stability of existing building areas can be much more consequential on a ridge property than on flat acreage.

Bushfire mapping is equally variable. Large cleared lawns around a residence can provide a very different vegetation relationship from a house embedded in continuous forest. Water available for firefighting, access for emergency vehicles and the amount of vegetation along a long driveway all contribute to the practical situation.

The split between Noosa and Sunshine Coast planning authorities makes development potential especially difficult to generalise. Northern Doonan contains substantial Rural Residential and Rural land under the Noosa framework, while southern properties are assessed through Sunshine Coast zoning and overlays. Each scheme applies its own minimum-lot, environmental and development standards.

Sunshine Coast Council’s work on its proposed Eumundi-Doonan local plan identifies the area as one where future growth opportunities are comparatively limited because of steep and unstable land, bushfire, flooding, native vegetation, Lake Weyba water-quality considerations and productive agricultural land. This broader planning direction is consistent with Doonan remaining an acreage and rural-residential landscape rather than becoming a conventional suburban expansion area.

Subdivision should therefore never be assumed from the apparent size of a property. Existing zoning, regional planning designation, frontage, access, slope, biodiversity, wastewater, bushfire and flood conditions can all prevent or reshape an outcome that looks simple on a map.

This is particularly relevant to one, two and three-hectare holdings. Their scale may appear large compared with urban Noosa, but much of Doonan was deliberately created and retained as low-density rural-residential land. Preserving space between houses and environmental values is part of the planning context rather than unused capacity awaiting denser development.

Doonan’s property market is therefore best divided by road, terrain and land usability. Panorama Drive and upper Duke Road emphasise views and high-end architecture. Valley Drive, Meadow Court, Panavista Court, Viewland Drive and Arbour Place provide established landscaped acreage estates. Wattlebird Drive and Lenehans Lane often offer more level and accessible family acreage.

Wust Road, Redwood Road and Laguna Grove broaden the land-size range, while Sunrise Road and parts of Eumundi-Noosa Road move into substantially larger rural property. Beddington Road and the main corridor introduce more visible hospitality and service activity, and Nyell Road has the strongest education influence through Noosa Pengari Steiner School.

The differences are large enough that suburb-wide comparisons can obscure more than they reveal. A 5,000-square-metre Panorama Drive property selected for a coastal outlook, an 8,000-square-metre Meadow Court estate with guest accommodation, a level Wattlebird holding suited to horses and a five-hectare Eumundi-Noosa Road property are all Doonan acreage, yet the way each property is used, maintained and valued can be completely different.

Lifestyle

Doonan offers a version of Noosa life centred on private land rather than a beachside street or village main road. Homes are generally separated by gardens, paddocks or forest, yet Noosaville, Noosa Heads and Eumundi remain close enough to form part of ordinary weekly life. This combination of privacy and access is one of the main reasons the locality has developed such a substantial residential-acreage market.

The most established acreage-estate streets support a highly home-centred routine. Valley Drive, Meadow Court, Panavista Court, Viewland Drive and Arbour Place contain properties where pools, large lawns, outdoor kitchens, guest accommodation and extensive gardens provide much of the household’s recreation without leaving the front gate.

These are not necessarily rural properties in the farming sense. An 8,000-square-metre landscaped estate may contain little or no pasture, with the entire holding devoted to gardens, native forest, pool areas and ornamental landscape. Maintenance is substantial but has more in common with managing a private park than running a hobby farm.

Mature vegetation contributes strongly to privacy. In some streets neighbouring houses are almost invisible despite being only one or two acreage blocks away. This creates a much more secluded outdoor-living environment than a conventional suburban property while still retaining a recognised residential neighbourhood around the home.

Large pools are common through the higher end of the market and can form the centre of the residence. Houses are frequently designed so kitchens and living rooms open directly toward water, lawn and forest, allowing the outdoor area to be used throughout much of the year.

Studios and guest cottages provide another lifestyle advantage. Visiting family can occupy a separate building, adult children can have more independence and home workers can maintain physical separation between office and household life. The lawful approval of the building remains important, but the physical flexibility is a genuine advantage of larger land.

Panorama Drive and upper Duke Road provide a more view-oriented lifestyle. The house and its decks can be positioned primarily around an expansive outlook rather than broad level lawn, and elevated pools or terraces become important social spaces.

Morning and evening conditions can be particularly striking on these ridges. Some properties look east or north-east toward the coast, while others face across forested valleys or hinterland ranges. Orientation also determines how much afternoon sun, wind and weather an exposed outdoor area receives.

Living on a ridge involves practical trade-offs. Steep driveways and garden slopes require more maintenance, and moving furniture, trailers or service vehicles can be less straightforward than on flat acreage. Residents selecting these properties are usually choosing the outlook and privacy deliberately rather than simply seeking the maximum usable land.

The flatter acreage around Wattlebird Drive, Whipbird Place, parts of Lenehans Lane and selected sections of Wust Road supports a different routine. Broad lawns, vegetable gardens, paddocks and easy vehicle access are more achievable, making these properties particularly practical for families with animals or substantial outdoor equipment.

Five or six thousand square metres can already provide a remarkable amount of domestic space. A house, pool, shed, children’s play area and productive garden can coexist while retaining mature trees around the edges. Owners who want acreage atmosphere without maintaining several hectares can find this scale more manageable.

At approximately one hectare, the opportunities expand. Large workshops, several paddocks and extensive gardens can be separated from the residence, and long driveways increase privacy. Mowing and vegetation management also become noticeably more demanding.

Two hectares and above begins to require a clearer land-management strategy. Owners generally decide which areas will remain lawn, which will be paddock, which will be retained as forest and where sheds and water infrastructure will sit. Attempting to maintain the entire title like a suburban garden can become time-consuming and expensive.

Sunrise Road and the larger Eumundi-Noosa Road properties take this further. Five or ten hectares can support genuine rural activities or extensive private conservation, but a substantial proportion of the title may remain forest rather than actively maintained land.

The quietest large holdings can provide near-total visual privacy. Houses sit behind long entrances and vegetation, and the soundscape becomes dominated by birds, wind and surrounding forest rather than neighbouring households.

Wildlife is consequently part of everyday life. Koalas, wallabies, birds and other native species use the broader vegetated landscape, and large established trees can be among a property’s most valuable non-building features.

Residents need to be comfortable living with that environment rather than treating every tree as removable garden vegetation. Fallen branches, leaf litter, storm cleanup and bushfire preparation become ordinary aspects of heavily wooded acreage.

Horse ownership is a visible part of Doonan’s lifestyle but concentrated on properties whose land actually supports it. Level fenced acreage with a reliable bore or dam can accommodate horses far more comfortably than a steep forest site, regardless of the total hectares.

Float storage and access are also important. A large high-clearance shed and broad turning area can make equestrian life much simpler than a property with an attractive paddock but a narrow, steep entrance.

For owners more interested in horticulture, Doonan’s subtropical environment supports extensive gardens and orchards on suitable sites. Citrus, tropical fruit, raised vegetable gardens and ornamental planting can occupy significant portions of a property where sunlight and water are adequate.

Bores on selected properties can make garden maintenance considerably easier, while others rely on stored rainwater and need to plan irrigation more carefully. The relationship with rainfall is therefore much more immediate than in an ordinary urban home.

Large sheds are part of lifestyle as much as storage. They can house caravans, boats, surfboards, bicycles, tools, classic cars and workshop equipment, making Doonan particularly practical for households whose hobbies need space.

This storage capacity complements the locality’s position between coast and hinterland. Residents can keep beach, boating and camping equipment at home while also having access to Eumundi, rural trails and the broader Sunshine Coast hinterland.

Home-based creative and professional work is another natural fit. Separate offices and studios are common, and the quiet environment can be attractive to people who do not need to commute every day. Reliable internet and mobile service should still be established at the exact residence because topography and trees can affect performance.

The Noosa Valley Country Club provides a local recreation option within Doonan itself. Its landscaped golf course reinforces the open green character around Valley Drive and gives golfers an activity that does not require driving into the coastal urban area.

The Doonan provides the locality’s strongest hospitality destination. Its large gardens, restaurant, pizzeria and family facilities mean residents have a substantial local venue for a meal or social gathering without travelling into Eumundi or Noosa Heads.

The venue also brings visitors into the southern part of Doonan, particularly during weekends and events. Properties in that immediate road environment experience a slightly more active local setting than secluded residential courts elsewhere.

Eumundi is the closest genuine village centre for many western and southern households. Its cafés, restaurants, independent shops and markets provide a distinctly hinterland social environment, while the railway station and Bruce Highway connection add practical value beyond tourism.

The Eumundi markets create regular periods of much greater visitor activity in the town itself. Doonan residents can take advantage of the market and hospitality without living within the most heavily trafficked village streets.

Noosaville provides the strongest everyday urban relationship from much of central and northern Doonan. Major supermarkets, Noosa Civic, medical services, professional businesses, gyms, sporting facilities and the Noosa River are all accessible within a relatively short drive.

This proximity changes the practical meaning of acreage living. Residents do not need to accept the long shopping and healthcare journeys common in remote rural districts simply to gain one or two hectares at home.

Noosa Heads broadens the lifestyle further with beaches, dining and tourism amenities. Doonan households can use Main Beach and the eastern beaches regularly while returning to a property where there are no apartment towers or dense tourist accommodation around the home.

The contrast can be particularly strong in holiday periods. Coastal Noosa becomes considerably busier, while many internal Doonan roads retain a much more consistent residential atmosphere. This separation can appeal to households who use Noosa frequently but do not want to live within its visitor precincts.

Peregian Beach and the eastern coastal suburbs provide another recreation and service direction from southern Doonan. Properties closer to Verrierdale and the Emu Mountain Road side can have a more natural relationship with this part of the coast than homes oriented toward Noosaville.

Doonan’s dual local-government geography contributes subtle differences in everyday administration. Waste services, planning enquiries, development applications and some Council programs are handled by different authorities depending on the property. Residents need to know which Council applies rather than relying only on a Doonan postal address.

Noosa Pengari Steiner School gives families seeking Steiner education an especially local option. Its Prep to Year 12 structure means children can remain at the same Doonan school through both primary and secondary years.

Government schooling is less locally self-contained. Families use surrounding state schools according to current catchments, which can make the exact road position important to school routines. Several current school-bus services reach Doonan streets, helping eligible students on routes toward Noosaville and Sunshine Beach.

The school-bus network is particularly useful because internal walking distances can be substantial. A child can live more than a kilometre from the entrance of the same road even before the journey to school begins.

Private vehicles remain part of normal family organisation. After-school sport, shopping and appointments usually involve driving, although residents close to Eumundi-Noosa Road have the shortest trip to the regional network.

The absence of an internal supermarket or conventional town centre helps preserve the acreage landscape. Commercial activity is concentrated along the main road and in specialist destinations rather than spreading through every residential street.

This means local convenience is less immediate than in Noosaville. Households tend to plan shopping trips and make better use of the storage available at home, including larger pantries, freezers and sheds.

The same land makes entertaining easy. Parking for extended family and friends can generally be accommodated within the property, and large outdoor areas allow gatherings without placing the same pressure on neighbours as a suburban block.

Large properties can also suit multi-generational households. A main residence and separate approved accommodation can give family members meaningful independence while maintaining a shared property environment.

This flexibility needs to be balanced against maintenance. A large home, pool, guest cottage, two acres of garden and a major shed can create more ongoing work than the simple acreage label initially suggests.

Owners often use gardeners, pool services, tree contractors and other trades for part of this workload. Properties designed around low-maintenance native vegetation can reduce intensive gardening but increase the importance of fire and tree management.

Doonan’s nearby conservation landscape strengthens its outdoor identity. The Doonan Creek Environmental Reserve in neighbouring Verrierdale protects a large area of wallum, forest and wetland habitat and provides nature-based recreation on formal access routes.

Tewantin National Park and other protected landscapes are also close to the northern hinterland. They reinforce the sense that Doonan is part of a much larger green belt rather than an isolated acreage enclave surrounded by urban development.

Walking inside Doonan is generally recreational rather than transport-focused. Quiet roads can be pleasant for local exercise, but the lack of continuous footpaths, variable shoulders and long distances mean residents usually drive to shops or school.

Cycling has a similar character. Experienced riders use the hinterland road network, but family cycling is most comfortable on private properties or quieter local roads rather than treating Eumundi-Noosa Road as an urban cycle corridor.

The large sites create considerable recreation space within the boundary itself. A household can walk dogs, garden, swim, exercise and work in the shed without leaving home, reducing dependence on public parks for daily outdoor activity.

Weather has a more direct effect on this lifestyle than in a conventional suburb. Heavy rainfall tests driveways, drains and dams, while dry periods influence tank levels and gardens. Strong storms can bring fallen trees or branches on forested holdings.

Elevated ridge properties can experience wind differently from sheltered valleys. The same exposure that creates cooling breezes and wide views can place greater weather loads on roofs, trees and outdoor areas.

Bushfire preparation is also a normal part of living on heavily vegetated acreage. The level of attention varies enormously between sites, but access, water and vegetation around the residence deserve ongoing consideration rather than being viewed only during a property purchase.

Doonan therefore supports several distinct lifestyles within its acreage framework. Panorama Drive and Duke Road suit residents prioritising views and substantial architecture. Valley Drive and the surrounding courts provide landscaped estate living. Wattlebird and Lenehans Lane can offer flatter family acreage and practical storage.

Wust Road, Redwood Road and Laguna Grove provide a balance of forest and usable land, while Sunrise Road and the larger main-road holdings suit people wanting significantly more acreage. The common feature is the ability to live among substantial private greenery while retaining daily access to Noosa and Eumundi.

Travel

Doonan is predominantly dependent on private vehicles, but its position on Eumundi-Noosa Road gives it unusually direct access to both the Noosa coastal urban area and Eumundi’s Bruce Highway and rail connections. Travel convenience varies considerably according to which side of the locality a property occupies and how far the house sits from a principal road.

Eumundi-Noosa Road is the main regional spine. Westbound travel leads through Eumundi and toward the Bruce Highway, while north-eastern travel connects with Noosaville and the broader Noosa road network. It carries residents, visitors, buses, commercial traffic and vehicles using the businesses and Council facilities distributed along the corridor.

This road position is a major advantage for properties whose residents commute regularly. A house can occupy one or two hectares yet be only a short local drive from a route linking major coastal and regional destinations.

The corresponding issue is road exposure. Houses immediately beside Eumundi-Noosa Road experience more vehicle movement than those at the end of Meadow Court or Panavista Court. Long setbacks, terrain and dense vegetation can reduce this considerably.

Driveway entry deserves particular attention on main-road properties. Sight distance, turning space and the ability to enter or leave with a trailer can be more important than on a quiet court, especially for households with boats, horse floats or work vehicles.

The Eumundi direction provides access to the Bruce Highway, making western and southern Doonan practical for regional commuting toward Nambour, Maroochydore connections and Brisbane. Highway access is one of the main reasons the locality can work for households whose employment is not centred only on Noosa.

Eumundi railway station provides the nearest passenger rail option for many properties and sits on the Sunshine Coast line. Current trains connect south through Yandina and Nambour into the wider Brisbane rail network and north through Cooroy, Pomona, Cooran and toward Gympie North according to service.

Eumundi station is outside the Doonan locality, so reaching it ordinarily requires a drive from most acreage. Western properties can have a particularly short connection, while homes closer to Noosaville may find rail less central to everyday travel.

Rail frequency is lower than metropolitan suburban networks and individual services do not stop at every station. It is best considered a useful option for planned regional journeys rather than a universal daily commuting solution.

Noosaville is the principal north-eastern road destination. From there residents gain access to Noosa Civic, the river precinct, industrial and commercial areas and routes continuing toward Noosa Heads, Tewantin and the eastern beaches.

For people working in Noosaville, the eastern acreage pockets can offer a particularly short commute by hinterland standards. Lenehans Lane, Wattlebird Drive and the nearby roads combine rural-residential land with quick access into the urban network.

Duke Road provides another important internal and regional connection. It links several of the elevated residential pockets and connects toward Sunrise Road, allowing western and northern travel without every journey beginning on Eumundi-Noosa Road.

The road itself varies in width, gradient and surrounding vegetation. Houses can have long private approaches, and some elevated sections require more attention to driveway sight lines and water runoff.

Panorama Drive is predominantly residential rather than a through corridor. This supports a quieter environment but also means residents generally return to Duke Road before reaching regional routes.

Valley Drive serves a substantial residential pocket and the country-club environment. The road carries mostly local traffic and visitors to properties or recreation facilities rather than acting as one of the main cross-region routes.

Meadow Court, Panavista Court, Arbour Place and other no-through streets provide some of Doonan’s quietest road settings. The absence of through traffic is useful for residential privacy but naturally adds one or more local-road stages to every commute.

Wust Road and Redwood Road provide connections through another established acreage area. Individual property access can be much longer than the public-road journey because houses are frequently positioned deep within their sites.

Sunrise Road has a broader hinterland function and links Doonan with Tinbeerwah-side roads. Larger rural properties along the corridor can therefore have more passing traffic than internal acreage courts even though house setback often provides substantial separation.

Beddington Road serves the southern Doonan area and connects with Eumundi-Noosa Road. Visitor traffic associated with The Doonan adds to ordinary residential movement, particularly around popular dining and event periods.

Lenehans Lane provides an especially useful connection for eastern residents because of its proximity to the Noosaville and Sunshine Motorway side. It is also used by current school-bus services, reflecting the concentration of family acreage through this part of Doonan.

Wattlebird Drive is another current school-transport corridor. These services are important because there is no government school campus within Doonan and the internal roads do not have the kind of frequent public-bus coverage found in Noosaville.

School-bus services should be distinguished from ordinary public transport. Current Translink information identifies dedicated school services through several Doonan roads, including Beddington Road, Wattlebird Drive, Lenehans Lane and Duke Road. Routes, eligibility and stops can change and should be confirmed for the address.

General scheduled buses connect Eumundi and Noosa along the wider corridor, but many Doonan households are not within convenient walking distance of a normal passenger stop. The property should therefore be treated as car-dependent unless a practical service has been confirmed.

There is no railway station within Doonan itself. The choice is generally between driving to Eumundi station, using coastal bus services after reaching the urban network or completing the journey by private vehicle.

Walking is rarely practical for everyday shopping because the suburb has no central pedestrian village and residential properties can be separated by hundreds of metres. The main road is designed primarily for regional vehicle movement rather than continuous neighbourhood walking.

Internal roads can be pleasant for exercise, but footpath provision is limited and road edges vary. Some quieter courts are suitable for local walking, while winding rural roads with limited shoulders require greater care.

Cycling is primarily recreational. Doonan’s roads are used by experienced cyclists as part of the wider hinterland network, but gradients, curves and higher-speed traffic make conditions very different from a separated urban cycleway.

Acreage properties themselves often provide substantial private walking space. One or two hectares can contain garden paths and long driveways, while larger forest properties can have internal tracks that residents use for recreation and land maintenance.

Parking is generally abundant but not automatically convenient. Large sites allow many vehicles to be stored, yet steep driveways or tight turning areas can make the final approach difficult for caravans and trailers.

The best-equipped properties have broad all-weather driveways, large turning circles and sheds positioned so that long vehicles can enter without repeated reversing. These features can be materially more valuable than an additional open paddock to households with large equipment.

Guest parking is another benefit of acreage. Entertaining does not normally place the same pressure on street parking as a suburban gathering because several cars can usually remain within the property.

Large home businesses require more careful consideration. Plenty of land does not remove the need to assess customer traffic, employee parking and delivery vehicles against planning controls and road access.

Heavy rainfall can affect travel at both public-road and private-property level. Doonan Creek and smaller drainage systems influence low areas, while long rural driveways can suffer erosion or blocked culverts even when the main road remains open.

A house on a high ridge should therefore not be considered completely separate from flood conditions without checking its access. The building may sit well above mapped inundation while the lower entrance passes through a drainage corridor.

Steep properties create their own wet-weather issues. Water moving down a poorly drained driveway can remove gravel, damage edges and undermine retaining, making good civil construction an important part of the property.

Bushfire conditions also affect transport planning. Heavily forested acreage benefits from driveways that provide adequate width and turning for emergency vehicles and from vegetation management that keeps the route usable.

Properties with only one long access through forest have a different emergency profile from a home close to a public road on a cleared site. This is a property-specific characteristic rather than a reason to treat all Doonan acreage alike.

The dual local-government boundary can also affect road-management responsibility and development approvals. Residents should identify whether Noosa Council, Sunshine Coast Council or the State is responsible for a particular road or planning matter rather than assuming one authority controls all of Doonan.

Travel toward the coast differs by pocket. Northern and eastern Doonan is naturally oriented toward Noosaville and Noosa Heads. Southern properties can also use the Verrierdale and Peregian side of the network, while western properties have particularly quick access toward Eumundi.

For households with one person working in Noosa and another commuting via the Bruce Highway, central Doonan can provide a useful compromise. The locality sits between both networks without requiring residents to live within either the coastal urban area or Eumundi village.

Airport travel is also practical by regional standards. Sunshine Coast Airport is reached through the wider motorway and coastal road network, although there is no direct rail or dedicated airport connection from internal Doonan roads.

Doonan’s transport advantage is therefore road access combined with proximity rather than extensive public transport. Properties close to Eumundi-Noosa Road provide the simplest commuting, while internal courts trade some immediacy for quieter surroundings. Elevated and outer holdings provide greater privacy but can add steep driveways and longer local journeys before the regional trip has even begun.

Schools & Amenities

Noosa Pengari Steiner School is located within Doonan and is the locality’s only full primary and secondary school campus. The independent school provides education from Prep to Year 12, making it a significant local amenity for families specifically seeking Steiner education.

The school is located within the southern part of Doonan and forms an identifiable education precinct around Nyell Road. School arrival and departure periods create more local vehicle activity there than on ordinary acreage roads, while properties elsewhere in Doonan are largely unaffected by school traffic.

There is no government state-school campus physically within Doonan. Government enrolment options depend on the individual address and current Department of Education catchment mapping rather than a simple suburb-wide allocation.

Eumundi State School is a nearby government primary school providing Prep to Year 6 and operates under an enrolment management plan. It is particularly convenient geographically for western and southern Doonan, but current in-catchment eligibility should still be established for the specific property.

Noosaville State School provides another nearby government primary campus on the Noosa side. It can be geographically practical for northern and eastern households, although proximity alone should not be interpreted as enrolment entitlement.

Sunshine Beach State High School provides government secondary education from Year 7 to Year 12 in the Noosa coastal area and currently operates under an enrolment management plan. Its catchment is address based, so eligibility should be confirmed through current official mapping.

Coolum State High School provides another government Year 7 to Year 12 option to the south-east and also operates under an enrolment management plan. The relevant secondary-school relationship can therefore vary across Doonan, particularly given the locality’s considerable east-west spread and dual-council geography.

Noosa District State High School provides additional government secondary education through the Noosa hinterland, and its campuses may be relevant to individual families according to enrolment eligibility and travel preferences. It should not be assumed to be the local school for every Doonan address.

Good Shepherd Lutheran College in neighbouring Noosaville provides independent Prep to Year 12 education and is relatively convenient from the eastern and northern side. Other Catholic and independent schools are available throughout Noosa, Peregian Springs and the central Sunshine Coast.

School transport is an important practical amenity because Doonan houses are widely dispersed. Current dedicated school-bus services travel through several local roads, including parts of Duke Road, Beddington Road, Wattlebird Drive and Lenehans Lane, with connections toward schools in Noosaville and Sunshine Beach.

These services can materially change a family’s daily routine but remain address and eligibility specific. A property deep within a side road or at the end of a long driveway can still require a vehicle trip to the appropriate pickup point.

Doonan does not contain a conventional supermarket centre or village main street. Everyday shopping is therefore divided principally between Eumundi and Noosaville, with the preferred direction changing according to where the property lies.

Eumundi provides the closest village-style service centre for western and southern Doonan. It contains grocery and convenience businesses, cafés, restaurants, hotels, specialty shops and the major Eumundi market precinct, together with a passenger railway station.

The markets and independent retail give Eumundi a stronger recreational and visitor role than an ordinary small shopping centre. Doonan residents can use this amenity regularly while remaining outside the busiest market streets at home.

Noosaville provides the strongest higher-order everyday shopping. Noosa Civic contains major supermarket, department and specialty retail, while the surrounding commercial area includes large-format stores, professional services, automotive businesses, gyms and other facilities.

The Noosa River precinct adds dining, recreation and smaller retail, while central Noosaville contains medical practices, pharmacies, dental and allied-health services. For many Doonan households this becomes the principal service centre despite the rural character of the home address.

Noosa Heads provides another level of restaurants, boutiques, visitor services and beach recreation. Its role is more lifestyle and hospitality focused than routine household shopping, although many Doonan residents work within the Noosa tourism and professional economy.

Tewantin adds supermarkets, health services, professional businesses and community facilities to the northern service network. Properties toward northern Doonan can use Tewantin and Noosaville together rather than relying solely on Eumundi.

Peregian Beach and the surrounding eastern communities provide another useful service direction from southern Doonan. Cafés, local shopping and coastal recreation can be reached without necessarily travelling through central Noosa.

The Doonan is the locality’s principal large hospitality venue. Set within extensive landscaped grounds, it provides restaurant and pizzeria dining, bars, family recreation and function facilities. Its scale makes it a regional destination as well as a local amenity.

The Doonan Valley Garden Centre and adjoining landscape-supply businesses are particularly relevant to a suburb where garden and land maintenance form a major part of home ownership. Plants, soils, mulch, stone and landscaping products are available locally along Eumundi-Noosa Road rather than requiring every property project to begin in an urban industrial area.

Noosa Valley Country Club provides a local golf facility within the Valley Drive environment. The boutique course is open to visitors on current operating arrangements and adds a substantial landscaped recreation area to the locality.

The country club’s presence is particularly relevant to properties around Valley Drive and Meadow Court, where golf-course or green-space outlook can influence the immediate environment. Other Doonan households use it simply as a local recreation facility.

The Noosa Resource Recovery Centre is located within Doonan on Eumundi-Noosa Road. It provides waste-transfer, recycling and reuse services, including the Reviva reuse shop and facilities for a wide range of household materials.

This facility is a practical amenity for acreage households generating green waste, renovation material or bulky household items. It is also a substantial operational land use, making proximity relevant when assessing properties in its immediate corridor.

Public recreation inside Doonan is less focused on municipal playgrounds and sports fields than in an urban suburb. The amount of private land means gardens, pools, paddocks and home recreation areas provide much of residents’ everyday outdoor space.

The Noosa Valley Country Club and surrounding rural roads provide some formal local recreation, while organised team sports are generally accessed through Noosaville, Tewantin, Eumundi, Peregian and the wider Sunshine Coast.

Nearby Doonan Creek Environmental Reserve in Verrierdale protects approximately 427 hectares of wallum, scribbly gum forest and melaleuca wetland within the broader landscape. It provides formal nature-based recreation and an important habitat connection between Sunshine Coast and Noosa conservation areas.

The reserve should be understood as a nearby regional environmental asset rather than open space attached to private Doonan properties. Its formal tracks and access arrangements provide public recreation while protecting sensitive habitat.

Tewantin National Park and other large protected areas are also close to northern Doonan. Their presence contributes to the extensive green belt separating Doonan’s acreage from more heavily developed parts of the coast.

Lake Weyba lies to the east of the broader Doonan-Verrierdale landscape and is another important environmental influence, particularly in Sunshine Coast planning. Water-quality protection within the Lake Weyba catchment is one of the constraints considered when assessing future development in the Eumundi-Doonan area.

Doonan Creek and local drainage lines provide smaller-scale environmental features within the locality itself. Creek vegetation can create attractive private settings and habitat but also means riparian buffers, flood mapping and erosion conditions can influence particular titles.

Healthcare is principally accessed in Noosaville, Tewantin, Eumundi and the surrounding coastal centres. General practice, dental, pharmacy and allied-health services are widely available within a short regional drive from most Doonan properties.

Noosa Hospital in Noosaville provides nearby hospital services, while Sunshine Coast University Hospital in Birtinya offers a much larger public specialist and tertiary health precinct farther south. Other specialist and private services are distributed throughout Noosa and the central Sunshine Coast.

Library and civic facilities are also external. Noosa Libraries provides major facilities in Noosaville and Cooroy, while Sunshine Coast Council library services are available through surrounding Sunshine Coast centres for residents on the southern side according to normal membership arrangements.

Eumundi provides heritage, arts and market activity rather than large civic infrastructure. Its visitor centre, community facilities and event spaces broaden the local cultural environment available to Doonan residents.

The Bruce Highway is one of the most important pieces of regional infrastructure near the locality even though it lies outside Doonan. Access through Eumundi allows residents to travel toward Nambour, Maroochydore connections, Brisbane and northern Sunshine Coast destinations without first crossing Noosa’s coastal urban area.

Eumundi railway station complements this road access with passenger services on the Sunshine Coast line. The combination is particularly useful for western Doonan households and gives the locality a broader regional connection than its winding acreage streets initially suggest.

Doonan’s environmental and planning amenities are closely tied to the preservation of space. Both current Noosa planning and Sunshine Coast planning maintain extensive rural and rural-residential land rather than identifying the locality as a conventional urban-growth front.

On the Sunshine Coast side, current strategic work for the future Eumundi-Doonan local plan identifies limited additional growth opportunity because of steep land, bushfire, flooding, native vegetation, productive agricultural land and the need to protect Lake Weyba water quality. On the Noosa side, current planning similarly retains extensive Rural Residential and Rural zoning with strong biodiversity and hazard controls.

This planning context is an important amenity in its own right because it explains why mature vegetation, large lots and substantial gaps between houses remain characteristic of Doonan despite its proximity to Noosa’s valuable coastal urban area.

It also means individual landowners carry greater responsibility for property infrastructure. Tanks, on-site wastewater, driveways, drainage, sheds, vegetation and private recreation facilities are more central to daily life than municipal infrastructure immediately outside the front gate.

The amenities most relevant to a property therefore depend strongly on its pocket. Panorama and Duke Road houses are defined by outlook and access toward the western road network. Valley Drive and Meadow Court combine landscaped acreage with local golf. Lenehans Lane and Wattlebird Drive have strong access toward Noosaville and current school transport.

Southern Doonan gains the closest relationship with Eumundi, Noosa Pengari Steiner School and The Doonan, while larger Sunrise Road and Eumundi-Noosa Road holdings are shaped more strongly by acreage scale and regional-road access. This distribution is central to understanding Doonan as a place to live, because there is no single village centre serving every property in the same way.
