The main results from the intercept surveys are outlined below:

ORIGIN OF RESPONDENTS
Whilst Tewantin has the most localised customer base, it still attracts approximately 24% of its customers
from the visitor market. Most of these visitors are from intra or interstate. Almost three quarters (72%) of
Tewantin customers live within the trade area. The majority of these are from the primary trade area
(49%) and a reasonable proportion (15%) come from the secondary north west which is the semi-rural
area incorporating Kin Kin and Pomona etc (refer Table 4.4).
