8      CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

This report has reviewed the current operations of Good Shepherd Lutheran College
at Noosaville and the approved new car park and master plan. The results of surveys
and site observations indicate the following:
     There is a maximum demand for 242 car parking spaces in the afternoon peak
        period.
     The set down area queues to the roundabout, however there is capacity within
        the college to manage the queue and change driver behaviour habits.
     The number of available bus services is suitable and there is suitable provision
        for buses within the College.
     A small percentage of students walk and ride to school. There is opportunity
        to increase active transport trips to and from school.

The following recommendations are offered.
   a) The College contact TMR and investigate if the “Look Out” program can be
        implemented in the set down area.
   b) The College staff supervise the set down area to and ensure vehicles move up
        in the queue and students only enter of exit from the first 4 bays.
   c) Repaint and maintain all faded line markings and signage to ensure signs,
        arrows and lines are visible.
   d) Consideration be given to improving access and facilities for bicycle (scooter
        and skateboard) parking.
   e) The College participate in Walk to School programs, Car‐pooling and Ride to
        School initiates to encourage alternative modes of transport.
   f) Consideration to undertake further discussions with the Project Team and
        Council’s Transport Consultant to review options for the set down area and
        short term parking from Eumundi Road roundabout, as part of the Master
        Planning process.
