It is not anticipated larger buses will access with site, with bus set-down and
manoeuvring area catering for a 22 seater mini bus. Should guests require the
services of a larger bus, this vehicle would utilise the bus depot facilities at the
intersection of Noosa Drive and Noosa Parade, and a smaller private shuttle bus
would operate between the resort and the depot.

Please detail how buses returning from tours will deal with constricted movements along
roundabouts on Hastings Street.

A bus depot is located at the intersection of Noosa Parade and Noosa Drive. Should guests
of the resort utilise larger tour buses which are unable to negotiate the constricted
movements around Hasting Street roundabouts, a smaller shuttle bus (ie. 16 seats) will be
on-call to ferry guests between the depot and the site.

It is noted however that No. 1 in Hastings Street offers short-term accommodation and is
accessed via Morwong Drive. The location of this visitor accommodation facility does not
impede tour transport access nor create an amenity or safety nuisance for the users of
Hastings Street or Morwong Drive.

Council staff express concem regarding the operation and management of the extemal
vehicle access to the site. Please provide details of signage and management of the
changing entry point to the site and how will it be obvious which entry point is functioning to
ensure congestion at critical times (i.e. 6.45pm or 7.15am) does not happen. What way
finding signs are proposed or other techniques to minimise confusion to enter the site for both
guests and short-stay visitors?

It is noted that the proposed operation of vehicle access to the site accords with Council’s
requirements of the CAS.

The details regarding the signage proposed for each entryway will be submitted as part of an
Operational Works application to Council. However concept details for these signs are
included as Attachment 15.

In addition to signage, management techniques will be adopted to ensure guests arriving to
the site (both short-stay and long-stay) will be informed of the access operations when
booking.
