SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                     8 OCTOBER 2019


advantageous process to establish a Noosa Style Shuttle Bus, and to facilitate other public
transport initiatives, is to continue negotiating with TransLink to enter into agreements that deliver
the preferred services for the Noosa community.

Previous Council Consideration
Nil.

Finance
This report has focused on the legislative framework governing public passenger transport and
the State Government’s responsibility in regulating and providing this service. This report does
not provide financial information or advice on the capital or whole of life costs associated with
operating public passenger transport in Noosa.

Risks & Opportunities
The key risk identified from this report and supporting legal review is that there is an
unacceptable risk to Council should it intend to operate its own Noosa style shuttle bus given the
high likelihood of State Government legislating against the Council operated service.
