Consultation

External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder

Council Cabs passengers – A courtesy call in April was made to a selection of Council Cabs
passengers seeking feedback on the services during the Easter Free Holiday Buses period.

on them for their weekly errands.

Suncoast Cabs – Provided clarification on service usage for Tewantin and Noosaville.

Internal Consultation
