The Noosa Council area is expected to experience relatively small population growth to 2036 (additional 7,286
persons). Whilst significant growth is not anticipated, over time, this may increase the burden on existing
sport and recreation facilities within the Council area.
The Noosa population is ageing with this trend expected to continue. This suggests that there will be an
increasing need for sport and recreation activities to meet the needs of middle aged and ageing adults (gentle
exercise, walking, modified sport). Further, universal accessibility to all facility infrastructure will become
increasingly important. Noting that an aged living development (180 units and 60 aged care studios) is
currently being constructed directly opposite the northwest portion of the Complex on McKinnon Drive.
Despite the ageing population, the proportion of children and teenagers aged 5 to 19 in the Noosa Council area
is relatively consistent with Queensland as a whole. This indicates that participation in structured junior sport
and recreation is likely to remain and there will continue to be a need to provide formal sport and recreation
opportunities for these age cohorts. The Complex is close to and well-used by the Tewantin State School for a
range of sport and physical education programs and sport competitions.
The household income profile for the Noosa Council area suggests a likely higher degree of price sensitivity.
Sport and recreation opportunities will therefore need to be affordable to maximise participation.
Of the sports on site:
• Netball and tennis appear in the top ten for sports participated in by women and girls.
• Touch football, tennis, and netball featured in the top 15 activities participated in by Queensland
adults.
