If you require a tap to fill a container of water, here are maps(PDF, 401KB) showing the locations of taps where containers can be filled.

Council prefers that the taps shown on the maps are the only taps that should be used to fill water containers.

Other taps are not suitable for a variety of reasons. Please remember to take only what water is really needed. Using too much will reduce water pressure across Noosa Shire. Please fill up using domestic-size containers only (up to 1000L).

Noosa Council doesn't regulate the water carrier sector or what they charge. Contact your local water carrier for more information.

Water carriers used to cart water for human consumption are considered a mobile food premises and are licensable under the Food Act 2006. Licence details for water carriers in Queensland can be found on the Queensland Health register of mobile food businesses. Please note: Council does not regulate the prices charged by water carriers.
