2.6           SUMMARY
This section has provided an overview of the regional and local context of Noosa Civic as well as a brief
overview of the subject site, trade area and a review of some of the pertinent consumer research
outcomes arising from research conducted by Urbis in October 2012.

In summary:

     The Noosa Shire is situated approximately 120 km north of Brisbane and is situated at the northern
      extent of the South East Queensland region.

     The Shire is characterised by high levels of tourism and is a popular market for retirees. As a result,
      the primary drivers of economic growth are within the retail, health and tourism sectors.

     Noosa Civic is situated within the NSBC in Noosaville, which includes a land area of around 70.5
      hectares.

     The Noosa Shire Business Centre is intended to be the highest level activity centre for the Noosa
      Shire LGA.

     Noosa Civic is the largest single component within the NSBC, comprising 30,641 sq.m of Gross
      Lettable Area (GLA). There is a small amount of commercial office space located within the Noosa
      Civic precinct.

     The Noosa Civic trade area has been divided into five sectors including a primary and four secondary
      sectors (i.e. north east, south east, south and north west) and broadly includes the entirety of the
      Noosa Shire LGA as well as the northern towns of the Sunshine Coast Council area.
