8.          PUBLIC QUESTION TIME


     8.1.          ANDIE GRANT

                   Question 1
                   Can data please be provided or collected to analyse how many families and
                   children reside in the Beckman's Road, St Teresa's Catholic College, Lake
                   Entrance Boulevard to Good Shepherd Lutheran College surrounding areas?
                   Response provided by Shaun Walsh, Acting Director Infrastructure Services
                   Thank you for this question. Firstly, Council acknowledges the challenges of
                   crossing these busy sections of road. Council has currently not compiled this
                   demographic data about families and children in these school catchments but can
                   arrange for it to be collected alongside data currently being collected for the Noosa
                   Traffic Study. Council is currently undertaking an update to the Noosa Traffic Study
                   using contemporary traffic data and is expected to be completed by June
                   2025. This study is a critical technical document that will guide infrastructure
                   planning for the next 30 years. Council will analyse the data to determine the need
                   for various traffic improvement projects, including safer pedestrian crossings.

                   Question 2
                   Has a civil engineer consultation on a safe pedestrian crossing been done yet or
                   when will it be scheduled to be done in relation to the design of a safe pedestrian
                   crossing on Eumundi-Noosa Road?
                   Response provided by Shaun Walsh, Acting Director Infrastructure Services
                   Thank you again for this question. Firstly, Council acknowledges the challenges
                   of crossing these busy sections of road. Council’s Walking and Cycling Strategy
                   has identified the need for safer, more convenient pedestrian crossings on
                   Eumundi-Noosa Road. This document was prepared by engineers in Council. In
                   addition, the Noosa Traffic Study update is currently occurring, also overseen by
                   engineers. This study is a critical technical document that will guide infrastructure
