Subscriber only Real Housewives of Sydney star Krissy Marsh and her developer husband John were the talk of Noosa this season after the pair finally made it over the border following their purchase of a waterfront home on Noosa Sound in Noosa Heads last year. The glamorous Marsh, and her knockabout bloke, snapped up a two-storey home in Witta Circle for $6.5 million at the height of COVID but were unable to visit it with the Queensland-NSW border shut tight due the pandemic.

More than 70 years ago one pro-development Noosa Shire councillor was advocating the reshaping of Noosa’s river entry.
The political forces at play became so strong they eventually led to the transformation of Noosa in the 1970s. A view of Noosa Heads photographed around 1968 when the river mouth sat adjacent to Noosa Woods.
Noosa Spit was created as a bulwark to protect the Noosa Sound estate, which transformed Hays Island, from cyclonic swells.
Noosa’s pivotal development moment has been made topical again by a social media post by Donna Cannon showing the way the river mouth was before a major artificial intervention in the 1970s.
