6 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED                                      IMPROVEMENTS                    FOR
  COUNCIL CONTROLLED ROADS
Recommended upgrading works to Council-controlled intersections within Noosa Shire to
satisfactorily accommodate traffic projections to the year 2036 are depicted in preliminary
sketch planning layouts contained in the balance of Section 6 of this report below.

It is noted that in all cases, appropriate on-road cycle lanes would need to be incorporated with
the upgrading works, as well as safe and appropriate pedestrian facilities.

It is important to recognise that some of the recommended road improvements / upgrades may
be able to be delayed or avoided (particularly beyond 2020) if Council can be successful at
encouraging more people to walk, cycle, and catch public transport for their journeys through
the provision of appropriate active transport infrastructure and behavioral change strategies.
This is also likely to be more economical than undertaking extensive road upgrades.
