                                                                                                                           21





       Noosa Council’s Condition 17
 “      The median island shall contain a pedestrian refuge to enable safe pedestrian access to the bus
        stop on the southern side of Cooroy Noosa Road. In this regard, plans detailing this work shall be
        prepared and submitted to Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for
        Operational Works. “



       Response to Condition 17

As illustrated on Figure A1 within Appendix A, the proposed upgraded Cooroy Noosa Road /
Carramar Access / Access to Local Development intersection includes the construction of a
pedestrian refuge, the extension of the existing footpath located on the northern side of the road
and the construction of new footpath on the southern side of the Cooroy Noosa Road to provide
pedestrian link to the bus stop located on the southern side of the road.

In addition to the traffic island, it is recommended that additional warning signage be erected to
advise drivers of pedestrian activity in the area.




       Noosa Council’s Condition 19
“19.    The existing pathway across the frontage east of the bus shelter shall be replaced with a 2.0
        metres wide pathway, including a connecting 2.0m wide pathway to the pedestrian refuge
        crossing across the road. Care shall be taken to protect any existing vegetation and/or any
        underground services.”




       Response to Condition 19

Refer to response to Condition 17 - a 2m wide pathway along the northern and southern side of
Cooroy Noosa Road on the eastern side of the access to the subject side will be provided as
illustrated on Figure A1 within Appendix A. This pathway will provide the necessary functions to
carry pedestrians to / from the subject site to the existing bus stops located on the eastern side
of the access to the site (on both sides of Cooroy Noosa Road).

The pedestrian refuge island as shown, coupled with additional warning signage, are considered
to be satisfactory for safe pedestrian movement across Cooroy-Noosa Road to the existing bus
stop located along the southern side of the road.
