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

What’s coming up first?
The following strategies have been proposed over the next 1-2 years (2017/18 & 2018/19).

    1. Investigate Park-and-Ride services and conduct a detailed study to determine the
       demand, preferred location, and likely capacity of a successful Park-and-Ride facility
       with links to shuttle services.

    2. Subject to investigation, and in keeping with the Noosa look-and-feel, introduce car
       parking management controls (e.g.paid parking) in congested areas. Paid parking may
       allow for variable controls for residents and non-residents, peak and off-peak periods,
       and paid and free parking at Park-and-Ride facilities.

    3. Subject to discussions with TransLink, trial a high frequency Noosa style shuttle bus to
       service key destinations.

    4. Implement Walk and Ride to School programs with supportive schools that experience
        significant traffic and congestion issues.

    5. Investigate the feasibility of priority transport lanes for sustainable transport modes
       (buses, bicycles, scooters, electric vehicles etc).

In addition there are a number of medium to long term strategies (some of which are
dependent on the implementation of these short term strategies) which will be reviewed as part
of the ongoing Transport Strategy prioritisation process.

The Noosa Council Zero Emissions Strategy is targeted specifically at Council operations and
activities. Council acknowledges its role in providing leadership for the community’s transition
towards a zero emissions future and aims to inspire change by demonstrating best practice
options to the community.
