At the time of the 2011 Census, key features of the Trade Area community included:

        A high proportion of households with 2 or more vehicles (58.4%) compared to Noosa Shire
         (53%) and QLD (54.4%); indicative of a mobile community with a propensity for demand
         for fuel retailing facilities and motor vehicle services.

        Below average household incomes, indicative of the heightened proportion of older
         persons and retirees in the Region.

        Low proportion of rented households (21%) and a higher proportion of households owned
         or being purchased (76.8%).

        Small Area Labour Market (SALM) data for the December Quarter 2015 indicated that the
         Noosa Hinterland SA2 had an unemployment rate of just 6.7% and a labour force of some
         11,255 persons. Comparatively, the Noosa LGA had an unemployment rate of 6.0% for
         this period and had a labour force of approximately 27,000 persons.

        Analysis of the 2011 Census Working Population Profiles for the Noosa Hinterland SA2
         indicates that approximately 95% of persons commuting for work utilised only a private
         motor vehicle as their mode of transport.

        More than 70% of working people that lived within the Noosa Hinterland SA2 commuted
         outside of the area to access employment. Of the some 10,121 persons within the
         resident labour force, just 29% also worked within the region at the time of the 2011
         Census; highlighting the high propensity for the community to access convenient fuel
         retailing on their journeys to and from work.
