Commercial accommodation occupancy rates on the Sunshine Coast as illustrated in FIGURE 4.3
are distinctly seasonal and linked to the type of accommodation that is available which targets
families and holiday periods. The ABS Survey of Tourist Accommodation (STA) also breaks down
the occupancy of commercial accommodation by SA2, highlighting the comparable performance
of Peregian whereby occupancy rates are now consistently 25-30% lower than the greater region,
indicative of relative decreasing demand for commercial accommodation in Peregian.
