SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                    11 JUNE 2019

              Approximately 40% of survey respondents indicated that the wayfinding signage to the beach
              and Hastings Street amenities was helpful and 40% stated they didn’t need the signs as they
              were already aware of where to go.

              Value for money:
              The Traffic Management Plan used the least amount of people to achieve the desired
              outcomes. The Traffic Management Plan was able to be scaled up or down depending on
              weather and traffic conditions with Council only paying for traffic controllers when required.
              It should be noted that the construction of a priority bus lane would far exceed the cost to
              provide traffic control during peak periods.
              Areas for improvement:
                  e  Provide traffic controllers with more training and autonomy to adjust the traffic
                     management plan according to conditions.
                  e  Work within safety standards to improve the uniform of traffic controllers
                  e  Continue to consult with Hastings Street Association on the number and location of
                     wayfinding signage

              4.    Initiative - Temporary replacement of parallel parking
              Vehicles attempting to parallel park along the westbound side of Hastings Street during peak
              holiday periods can exacerbate traffic congestion and hinder the flow of traffic to available
              parking in the Noosa Woods.
              In consultation with the Hastings Street Association, eight parallel car parks were temporarily
              converted into increased footpath space, and scooter and bicycle parking.
              Operational effectiveness:
