The intersection of Eumundi-Noosa Road/Rene Street is currently a four-way roundabout with varying
circulating lane widths, under the authority of the Noosa Council. The intersection primarily provides access
to the light industrial and business uses located north and south of the intersection. The most recent aerial
imagery of the intersection is shown alongside the analysed intersection form on Figure 5-5. Results for the
analysis are summarised in Table 5-7.
