Sea Change New Residents Survey

The Sea Change New Residents Survey is an opportunity for those who have recently relocated to Merimbula and/or surrounds to share their “sea change” experiences to help us better understand the decision making process people work through when considering a major life change such as a move interstate or change in regional relocation.

What made you move? What were the most important considerations that informed your decision?  How has the reality of the move measured up to your initial expectations? How are you settling in?

How will your information be used?

The deidentified information will be used for the following purposes:
  • To provide the Merimbula Chamber of Commerce and partners with insights into what has motivated people to relocate to the area and from where people have come.
  • To better understand what made you choose the Merimbula area as your sea change destination (your previous connections to the town).
  • To better understand the key factors people consider when weighing up a potential “sea/tree change” (employment, housing, schools, facilities, services, etc.).
1.What was the main reason you chose to make a sea change?
2.Did you have any previous connection to the area before you moved?
3.Tell us a bit about you and your move.
