Noosaville is bounded by the Noosa River to the north, Weyba Creek to the east, the shoreline of Lake Weyba (the lake being within the suburb).[4]

Lake Weyba is in the south-east of the suburb (26°26′21″S 153°04′27″E / 26.4392°S 153.0742°E / -26.4392; 153.0742 (Lake Weyba)) and is 9.77 square kilometres (3.77 sq mi).[4] Weyba is believed to mean place of stingrays or place of flying squirrels.[5][6]
