7.      Appendix 1: Survey analysis
To encourage participation in the engagement process, Noosa Council hosted a community survey that was promoted through their Have Your Say
page and social media pages.

Featuring a mix of open-ended, multiple choice and Likert Scale type questions, the survey attracted 168 responses (82.4%) from residents within
Noosa Shire and 36 (17.6%) from other areas.

Key demographic results from the survey such as age, gender and home ownership were compared against the 2021 Australian census. The
results largely matched the demographic profile of Noosa, though there was a particularly strong skew in age towards those aged 55 and over.
