2017-06-06 - S&O Agenda Attachment 1 to Item 1 - Noosa Transport Strategy 2017-2027

     A regional, low-density area like Noosa is unlikely to experience the levels of public transport use
     that high density metropolitan areas enjoy. Demand responsive transport solutions, as well as other
     community ride sharing services, have the potential to offer alternative transport options to ensure
     residents are able to access key services and facilities.

     There are a number of transport-related areas which fall under the jurisdiction of the Queensland
     State Government. These include: public transport (bus and train services), plus certain main roads
     and associated road intersections. The Noosa National Park, including the car park at the end of Park
     Road, is also State controlled. Noosa Council will continue to collaborate with and advocate to the
     relevant State Government bodies to address transport matters which fall outside of Council’s direct
     control.

     Transport is a complex issue and agreement on solutions can be contentious. The
     development of this Transport Strategy has been informed by the suggestions of residents and
     key stakeholders plus the expert advice of traffic and transport consultants.
