PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 14 OCTOBER 2014
Ly PROPOSAL FOR A BOUNDARY CHANGE
Demographic analysis undertaken by Ted Fitzgerald based on the 2011 census
data provided collaborative evidence from hard data to support these findings?®
He showed that there are far more similarities with the EDV population
characteristics and Noosa Shire population than with the SC population such as:
" More residents in the EDV area live closer to Noosa based services than to
SC based services;
" EDV residents are older than Sunshine Coast but slightly younger than
Noosa;
"More work from home (EDV 13.3%, Noosa 10.7%, Sunshine Coast 7.2%;
» EDV and Noosa have similar patterns of part time employment, more so
than the Sunshine Coast;
» Both EDV and Noosa have relatively lower density communities than the
Sunshine Coast (97.5%, 96.2% and 76.5% respectively);
Ted undertook a population gravity modelling of census data which revealed
that:
* Doonan’s strongest link is with Noosa, Noosaville, Tewantin followed by
Coolum and Peregian Springs;
» Eumundi linkages are almost equally divided between Greater Noosa and
Nambour; and
" Verrierdale and Weyba Downs have Greater Noosa as the strongest link
followed by Coolum and Peregian Springs.
Other data based evidence includes:
« Eumundi State School data on the destination of 2012 and 2013
graduates shows that more students entered a high school in Noosa Shire
than in the Sunshine Coast area (2012 of the 70% of known destinations—
60% to Noosa Shire, 5% to SC; 2013 - over 90% to Noosa Shire )
"Parish records for a number of denominations showing that the EDV area
is included in Noosa, not in the Sunshine Coast (e.g. Noosa District
Catholic Parish);
«Licences offered for radio stations to operate are based on serving the
interests of the community within its region - Noosa Community Radio’s
licence includes the EDV area as part of its community; and
«Practical examples of collaboration between Eumundi organisations and
organisations in the Noosa Shire (e.g. The Eumundi Chamber of
Commerce is affiliated with the Noosa Chamber of Industry and
Commerce; the Cooroy Rotary Club has established a Eumundi Chapter;
the Cooroora Uniting Football Club and the Cooroy Eumundi Cricket Club
have a shared catchment of Cooroy and district and Eumundi and district;
The Eumundi District and Community Organisation includes Cooroy in
