REPORT
The purpose of this report is to update Council on the key outcomes of the Noosa Traffic Advisory
and Speed Management Committee meetings held on 30 November 2015, 3 March 2016 and 2
June 2016.

A number of traffic related issues have been discussed, with the Committee noting that numerous
traffic investigations are still being undertaken before any final conclusions can be made. The
current issues are listed in the Action Matrix included as Attachment 1.

The key outcomes finalised at the Noosa Traffic Advisory and Speed Management Committee
meetings are set out below:


1.                       Successful Community Road Safety Grant

Noosa Council has been successful in obtaining a Community Road Safety Grant from the
Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) for 100% funding of a Variable Message Sign
(VMS) and speed radar worth $21,450 (excl GST).

The purpose of the VMS and speed radar is to increase road safety by alerting drivers of their
speed as well as displaying road safety messages. With input from DTMR, Queensland Police and
customer requests, a roster has been developed for the deployment of the VMS and speed radar
to provide immediate treatment for known road safety issues in the area.
