4.7.2.1 INTERCEPT SURVEYS – NOOSAVILLE
The intercept surveys conducted by Urbis captured a cross section of the visitors and their spending
habits at Noosaville, as noted below. Please note that the surveys were somewhat restricted in Noosaville
due to private ownership issues. This is accounted for later in the report when examining the distribution
of trade and the centre’s overall market shares.

ORIGIN OF RESPONDENTS
The Noosaville river precinct attracts a local customer base as well as a high number of intra and
interstate visitors, but fewer internationals compared with Noosa Junction and Hastings Street. Of the
local customers who visit this precinct, the majority live within the primary trade area (refer Table 4.3).
