 Noosa Shire Planning Scheme
 Part 9 Development codes
 9.4 Works codes
 9.4.8.7 Transport Code

     Application
     (a)    This code applies to assessable development identified as requiring assessment against the Transport code by the
            tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).
     (b)    All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.

     Purpose and Overall Outcomes
     (1)    The purpose of the Transport code is to ensure a safe, convenient and efficient transport network that meets
            community expectations and is consistent with Noosa’s transport planning which includes:
            (a)   focusing on moving people and goods ahead of moving cars;
            (b)   providing infrastructure and services designed to prioritise active transport, motor cycle, motor scooter and
                  public transport options; and
            (c)   designing a transport network to minimise ongoing maintenance.
     (2)    The overall outcomes sought for the Transport code are:
            (a)   The transport network facilitates and encourages an overall modal shift away from private car use towards more
                  sustainable transport.
            (b)   Development improves the coordination between transport and land use.
            (c)   Development minimises the environmental and social impacts of transport on the natural and urban environment.
            (d)   Development contributes to improving walking, cycling, bus, train and ferry modes and the use of motor cycles and
                  motor scooters to minimise the use of the private car.
            (e)   Development provides a road hierarchy that supports effective bus route connectivity.
            (f)   Development does not adversely impact on the role of the major road network, particularly the Highway, in the efficient
                  movement of freight through the Shire.
            (g)   Development does not increase the scale of the road network beyond that currently planned.
            (h)   Development provides for safe access to existing or future public passenger transport facilities.
            (i)   Development ensures that vehicle access does not compromise the capacity and safety of the road system.
            (j)   Development provides appropriate noise attenuation buffering between sensitive uses and arterial roads or rail
                  corridors.
            (k)   New infrastructure is compatible with existing infrastructure, designed and constructed to a standard that meets
                  community expectations and optimises whole of life cycle costs.
            (l)   Roads are designed and constructed to satisfy their specified functions and provide an appropriate level of flood
                  immunity (including local flooding on roads).
            (m)   Intersections and access points are designed and constructed to give a low key village look and feel rather than
                  reliance on signalisation.
