5.7         DRIVE TIME ISOCHRONES
The drive-times outlined in this section present an indication of the average time it takes to drive from
Noosa Civic to the other major Sunshine Coast activity centres. These drive-times are determined by a
number of factors including the average speed limit, time of travel, the size and function of the road/route
as well as geographical and man-made barriers. The drive-time to other activity centres within the
Sunshine Coast Region is outlined in Map 5.6 overleaf.

Based on the drive time assessment, residents of the Noosa Civic trade area are required to drive
approximately 30 minutes to access the higher order centres of Maroochydore and Nambour respectively
(around a 1 hour round trip).
