Cycling and Public Transport Access
Noosa has some of the best bicycle networks in South East Queensland and is known for its high cyclist
rates. The subject directly adjoins Gibson Road, which provides cycle lanes to the broader Noosa area.
Of note, the Coolum branch includes internal bicycle parking. It is estimated that approximately 10 of
the clients utilise these facilities across the course of a single day.

The subject site at 3/11 Gibson Road provides access to a much more sophisticated and substantial
bicycle network. It is reasonable to assume that a percentage of patrons will utilise this network.

between July and December 2020. The Coolum branch operates a slightly different timetable than
