5.6.11         Intersection 11: Hofmann Drive/Rene Street
The intersection of Hofmann Drive/Rene Street is currently a four-way roundabout with a single circulating
lane, under the authority of the Noosa Council. The eastern leg of the intersection provides access to the
existing development. Currently the southern leg of the intersection of Hofmann Drive is a no-through road
and will be extended with the proposed expansion to connect with the Southern Access and Central Road.
The most recent aerial imagery of the intersection is shown alongside the analysed intersection form on
Figure 5-16. Results for the analysis are summarised in Table 5-17.

development scenarios at the 2028 design horizon.
