Noosa Civic was opened in late 2006 and it is host to an array of shops.
Built with plenty of space in mind, you can park easily (although navigating to an exit is difficult), and if you're lucky you can get a park under some shade.
Featured shops are: Big W (Department store); Woolworths (Groceries); Sanity Music for music and DVD's; plus shoe shops, jewellery shops, snack food shops, a newsagent, 3 coffee shops including Starbucks, and some clothing stores.
There are plenty of Auto Teller machines scattered inside and out of the mall, and if you really need to unwind, then head down the Bluefish bar and have a drink or two.
Although the Mini Mall concept was originally rejected (mainly by small business), it has been widely accepted by the community.
I wouldn't say that you could spend an entire day at the Civic, but you could waste away a few hours.
What to buy: Standard retail items.
What to pay: Nominal retail prices in Australia.
AU$2-4 for a coffee

If you're after local art and craft, your best bet is to head to Eumundi - a small town that's about 20mins inland of Noosa. Markets are held on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Saturday is the biggest and busiest day, but there are also shops that are worth a visit any day of the week. For more info - have a look at my Eumundi page!
What to pay: Less than in Noosa itself - but obviously depends what you buy!
