 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                              Planners’ Response   Recommendation
             change in Noosa to keep up with the increasing volume of tourists and visitors. We also need to preserve our
             paradise.
 20831257    Requests Council install kerb and channelling and replace deep ditch along Poinciana Avenue.
             Would like to see council provide cheap ferry transport from Tewantin to Noosa Heads, especially on
             weekends and school holidays. It would be a very enjoyable mode of transport utilising one of the greatest
             assets - the river and keep cars off the busy roads to Noosa. Could stop at popular spots e.g. caravan park at
             Munna Point and Noosaville and make it a great way to go and have a swim, picnic, eat and shop along the
             river and Hastings St.
             Short-term public parking for small boats to tie up and visit Hastings St and Noosa Heads - would take a lot of
             cars off road.
 20868597    Active Transport vision by encouraging active transport instead of being fixated on roundabouts. Make if safe
             for walkers, cyclists and wildlife.
             Infrastructure seems to be lagging behind. Need forward forecast planning to provide safer bicycle
             infrastructure to the cluster of schools and community facilities in Sunrise Beach.
 20867004    Would like to see Hastings Street be made into an aesthetically pleasing pedestrian zone, with no access for
             cars (apart from emergency vehicles where necessary). This suggestion is due to the inordinately high
             number of vehicles driving along Hastings Street and the gradual increase in the amount of traffic (and traffic
             jams), particularly in school holiday periods. The car park at the bottom end of Hastings Street could be
             removed and re-established as an additional part of the National Park, without vehicle access, and could be
             used for family picnics, nature walks, and pedestrian access to the beaches.
             Also suggests that as part of the public transport initiative, the Free Holiday buses be extended from
             Christmas and Easter holiday seasons to other busy times of year, such as the September school holidays,
             and for a longer period over the Easter school holidays and Christmas, potentially to the end of January. The
             free buses are very well patronised, which helps to reduce the amount of traffic in Noosa Heads, particularly
             traffic moving in and out of Hastings Street and Noosa National Park.
 20868624    Total Ban on Jet skis in Noosa River and Noosa Ocean to 1km out from land
             Make surf board riders wear leg ropes to control their equipment
             Limit events that close the streets to 2 a year and for a day each
             Make tourism operators pay substantial fees to pay for infrastructure
             Make all new developments have car parks for staff
             Ban cyclist on all 100km an hour rural roads
             Consider a sports park rurally to host events with an area to accommodate the sport and cars with ample
             infrastructure.
 20847570    Jampot Creek Road is very dangerous and used by all residents and trucks when flooding in area, which in
             turn has left large pot holes and corrugation. No signs on road explaining merging road (Kellahers RD to
             Jampot CK RD ). No speed Limit sign Requesting to have taring done where rate payers live also my
             husband suffers from asthma which is hard at times with the dust off the road-(350 meters top end of Jampot
             Creek Road - Coles Creek Road )
 20853249    Objects to boat trailers being left on Noosa Parade and surrounding streets. Holiday makers who stay in units
             in Quamby place should park their boat trailers at their accommodation in Quamby place or in Quamby place.
             NOT on Noosa parade and surrounding streets. This is only adding to the unsightly congestion in Noosa
             parade. Why are they allowed to abandon them, for weeks on end? They should be keep with the owners at
             their holiday accommodations. Not strewn around surrounding streets outside permanent residents houses.
 20867153    In peak times people who ride their all-terrain bikes instead of driving past the Junction to Hastings Street
             should be allowed to ride their bikes along the service road in the National Park so they can get to the other
             beaches like tea tree/granite bay/Alexandra beach.
             Bike racks with surveillance cameras should be provided at the groin beaches/park.
             Street closures should be considered with permits provided to permanent residents and permits provided to
             accommodation places and workplaces whereby permanent residents; tenants; holiday makers and workers
             are issued with a bar code through an app that is scanned to allow people in and out of the street closure
             areas. Each household/business etc. has to apply for the number of barcodes they require and plan
             accordingly.
             All parking past the junction round-about should be banned. Busses can ferry people to the national park and
             the groin. No cars need to go down.
