•    400 jobs in education and training.

The NBC employment precinct accounts for 20% of all jobs located within Noosa Shire,
with relative concentrations in wholesaling (55% of all Noosa jobs), manufacturing (44%),
transport and warehousing (36%), retail (31%), personal services (29%), health (23%) and
education (23%).

Across the Noosa LGA there were a total of 24,240 employed residents in 2021, with
above average representation (when compared to Queensland averages) in:
•    Accommodation and food services
•    Rental, hiring and real estate services
•    Administrative and support services
•    Arts and recreation
•    Retail
•    Professional, scientific and technical services.

In 2021 there were 22,920 jobs available within Noosa Shire, resulting in a net outflow of
1,320 jobs when compared against the number of employed residents. This represents a
relatively high employment self-sufficiency rate of 95%, meaning that in net terms the
number of local jobs is close to the number of jobs required by the resident population.
However, when examined on a sectoral basis it is clear that Noosa Shire ‘imports’ people
to work in tourism-related sectors such as retail, accommodation and food services and
arts and recreation, whereas people working in many other sectors are required to travel
to Maroochy and other locations to seek work.

These net inflows and outflows are shown in Figure 4.
Development within the VMU precinct has potential to create new employment
opportunities across retail and entertainment sectors, as well as in office-based
professional, technical and administrative support sectors in which there are currently
net employment outflows.
