Eumundi Range had a 2011 resident population of 538 persons and a total of 208 private
dwellings. 25.7% of residents were under the age of 20 and 19% were 65 years old or over. The
average occupancy was 2.7 persons per household and median household income was $1,375
per week. Over 85% of homes are owner occupied.

The Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme includes most of this area in the Rural Zone with no
potential for further subdivision. The portion to the north of Sunrise Road is within the catchment
of the Lake Macdonald water supply. The issue of catchment areas are a significant issue that
would be considered by the Change Commission (see section 9 (d) (ii) of the Local Government
Regulation).

The portion generally to the south east of Sunrise Road is zoned either Rural Residential or
Limited Development.

While it contains some steep slope and landslide potential the area does not generally have as
much protected native vegetation as Doonan and rural lifestyle lots are mixed with some smaller
rural enterprises.

Residents of this area are closely aligned with both Eumundi and Cooroy for access to goods
and services including schools; however they also take access a range of recreation, shopping
and infrastructure in Noosa.
