 businesses reported marginally catering more for locals than tourists (approx. 60:40 split). Golf
 clubs, which have the second highest membership data, also have a significant rate of
 participation by local visitors and tourists (not counted in the data below), with one provider
 noting only 50% of rounds are played by members.

 Gyms reported the highest number of memberships for any physical activity with 4,548
 memberships reported. Golf (1958), Tennis (1330), gymnastics (1081) and soccer (1046)
 make up the top five organised physical activities in Noosa. Aqua classes rounded out the Top
 20 list with 241 people per week reportedly participating in classes.

  6.3.3 Individual Spend on Physical Activity
 The Noosa participation survey indicated that locals spend more than the national average on
 physical activity participation. Noosa residents reported spending $1,000 per person per year
 on being physical active, compared to the National average of $875.


7.        Sport and Active Recreation Facilities and Services in Noosa
            Existing Facilities and Management
 Noosa is well serviced in terms of sport and active recreation facilities and services. Our
 residents participate in 55 different sport and active recreation pursuits that fall under the scope
 of this Plan. There are 144 organisations identified as providing physical activity opportunities
 to Noosa residents and visitors. The table below indicates that almost half of the organisations
 identified in Noosa are privately or commercially run. This clearly demonstrates the national
 trend of the increasing commercialisation of physical activity participation and a need for
 council to work with private and NFP organisations to increase physical activity levels of
 residents.
