 2.1 Implement a prioritised program for the installation of new bicycle
 parking racks at key destinations. Key destinations include community
 facilities, recreation hubs, tourist attractors and major, district, local and
 neighbourhood Centres.
                                                                                   ✓          ✓
 2.2 In conjunction with the recreation strategy, investigate and identify
 multiple use sites (sports grounds, schools, parks and playgrounds)


                                                                                   ✓          ✓
 suitable for development of beginner and novice cycling infrastructure.
 Infrastructure may include learn to ride facilities, closed circuit loops,
 skills parks and pump tracks.
 Seek external funding for delivery of these works through avenues such
 as the State Government's Activate program.
 2.3 Investigate opportunities to enhance or add end-of-trip facilities
 in key centres and tourist hubs. Implement a prioritised program for
 upgrading of existing public facilities (eg public toilets with showers)
 and the construction of new end-of-trip facilities, including electric
                                                                          T                              ✓
                                                   AF
 charging stations. Investigate opportunities to partner or incentivise
 private sector to develop end-of-trip facilities for their workforce at key
 locations.
 2.4 To contribute to reaching Council's Zero Emissions Target, audit
 existing end-of-trip facilities at Council workplaces and provide or
 improve facilities where appropriate. Facilities could include bike                                     ✓
                                  R

 parking, showers, lockers, irons/ironing boards etc.
 2.5 Investigate high demand routes and other locations (eg
 intersections) where further lighting would be beneficial, and develop
                                                                                              ✓                     ✓
                   D


 a lighting improvement program that identifies priorities based on
 nighttime demand, personal safety and road safety.
 2.6 Identify and provide mid-journey facility (eg drinking fountains and
 rest areas) requirements for each bike riding/walking route hierarchy
 category in keeping with Noosa design principles. Facilities should be
 provided as part of all new bike riding and walking projects.
                                                                                   ✓                                ✓

 2.7 Prepare and implement way-finding signage plans for new bike
 riding and walking routes in accordance with the Noosa Signage Guide.
 Way-finding on existing routes to be audited and updated as required.
 2.8 Assess shade/shelter coverage along key routes and prioritise


                                                                                              ✓                     ✓
 works to improve user comfort by increasing shade/shelter to reduce
 impact of heat. Utilise native species which provide ample canopy tree
 coverage of paths and streets, whilst retaining sufficient space for safe
 pedestrian thoroughfare.



                                                                                              ✓
 2.9 In conjunction with the Trails Masterplan and Implementation Plan,
 identify and schedule end-of- trip facility requirements (eg toilets,
 lockers, trail maps and drinking fountains) for trail hubs.
