GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                         15 APRIL 2019

                                                sill a
    Noosa Council currently operates a DRT service to connect the rural community of Boreen
    Point to existing public transport in Tewantin . Council believes that additional DRT services
    would benefit other hinterland communities where bus services are limited or don’t exist.

    Request:              Investigate DRT services within the Noosa Shire.

    Trial Opportunity:    Together with MaaS trial above, consider DRT to additional Hinterland
                          areas to connect people to existing public transport.

    Priority 4: Live: includes action A1.36 regarding personalised journey planning to
    investigate opportunities to support efforts to develop customer interfaces that integrate all
    transport modes to offer a personalised, seamless transport experience.

    Trial Opportunity: | Together with MaaS and DRT trial above, consider partnering to
                          further develop Noosa’s early concept of personalised journey
                          planning (refer www.gonoosaapp.com.au)

    Priority 4: Live: includes action A1.37 regarding real-time data (public transport) to
    investigate the feasibility and merits of enhancing the existing real-time information
    system to provide a broader range of information to service providers and the
    general public, including providing capacity information, bookings, modal travel time
    comparisons, times, roadworks, accidents and weather disruptions.

    Trial Opportunities: 1) Establish real time bus information at key Noosa bus stops.
                          2) Further develop ‘Go Noosa’ real time information on car parking
                          availability and alternative choices.

    North Coast priorities
    Council acknowledges the challenges noted in section 2.3.1 around supporting equitable
    access and providing additional capacity on public transport networks requiring costly
    investments. This is why Council believes that a public transport network review for the
    Noosa network is required to maximise the current transit investment in the region. As
    discussed with the Deputy Director General (TransLink), Council is open to considering the
