EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Design Services Manager to the Infrastructure &
Services Committee Meeting dated 9 December 2014 detailing the key outcomes of the
Noosa Traffic Advisory and Speed Management Committee meeting held on 14 August
2014.


REPORT
The purpose of this report is to update Council on the key outcomes of the Noosa Traffic
Advisory and Speed Management Committee meeting held on 14 August 2014. The key
issues discussed at the meeting are set out below.

1.                         Speeding

The main issue that this report seeks to raise awareness of is a change in process with
regard to speeding complaints.

The Queensland Police Service has advised that speed is a Policing issue and that Council
should, in the first instance, advise customers to report speeding to the Police by
telephoning Policelink on 131 444 or via the Policelink website:

https://www.police.qld.gov.au/programs/policelink/.

If the Police consider that speed complaints in a particular street are valid, they will escalate
the matter through the Traffic Advisory and Speed Management Committee and request that
Council investigate further and propose potential solutions.

2.                         Cooroy Noosa Road / Beckmans Road Intersection

Following a safety audit several improvements have been made at this intersection.

Green bicycle lanes in a share left turn lane have been installed in conjunction with several
other minor changes. These improvements have been well received and compliments have
been made to Council from the cycling fraternity.

Staff will continue to monitor the need for further improvements.
