Journey to work profile ~ Sunshine
Coast Region
This map shows the areas of interest for the following journey to work analysis according
to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2011 Census data using Statistical Local Areas
(SLAs). Journey to work data is an indicator of communities of interest. The boundaries
used by the 2011 Census did not align exactly with the pre‐amalgamation local government
boundaries. In order to address this issue, a model incorporating additional data from the
Australia Post Postal Address File was applied.




The area including Noosa‐Noosaville, Sunshine‐Peregian and Tewantin area shows high
self‐containment with 73 per cent of journey to work trips staying within this region in
2011. The Noosa Balance area has lower self‐containment (36 per cent), however the
majority of trips leaving the Noosa Balance area are travelling to the Noosa‐Noosaville,
Sunshine‐Peregian and Tewantin area.
