SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                     10 JULY 2018

     The Transport strategy will be reviewed at least annually in keeping with rapidly advancing
     transport innovations to ensure the strategies remain relevant.
     The following strategies, to be considered further over the next few years, are in no particular
     order and will be reviewed as part of the ongoing Transport Strategy prioritisation process.
         *   Consider ways to encourage the use of motorbikes, scooters and electric bicycles
             including priority parking.
         *   Review and prioritise all missing links of walking and cycling pathways.
         *   Collaborate with community/private sector to establish electric charging stations at key
             locations.
         *   Develop a Noosa visitor transport information pack containing details on how to have a
             “car free & carefree” holiday in Noosa.
         * — Investigate use of existing pathways as a network for motorised scooters as well as for
             walkers and cyclists.
         *   Consider ways to increase the uptake of commuter cycling.
         *   Consider options for the creation of car free or shared zones which restrict vehicle
             access to a street or area for the exclusive use of pedestrians and cyclists.
         *   Consider expanding the Flexilink service to other locations e.g. Kin Kin
         * — Investigate the potential for Noosa Council to operate its own public transport services.
         *   Conduct an audit of community buses (Aged Care, resorts, RSL, school buses etc) to
             identify opportunities for synergies with meeting shire-wide transport needs.
         *   Encourage the development of a suite of Apps (cycling, park & ride locations,
             pathways etc.) to facilitate uptake of sustainable transport.
         *   Investigate establishment of community/private sector bike hire scheme at specific
             locations (electric/non-electric).
         * — Investigate using public transport ferries on the Noosa river.
         *   Investigate the provision of End of Trip facilities (showers, lockers, bicycle parking etc.)
             in the public domain where there are high employment numbers e.g. Noosa Junction.
         *   Investigate alternative access options to Noosa Woods.
         *   Investigate alternative access options to Little Cove.
         *   Research and investigate smart technology transport solutions and their application to
             Noosa e.g. Autonomous or driverless buses.

                                                                                                        19
