6.2.2 Detailed design considerations
Key considerations for the detailed design phase are outlined in Table 39. These considerations represent the key design
risks for the project that will need to be appropriately investigated and mitigated in detailed design. Higher-level project

 LOCATION                 DETAILED DESIGN CONSIDERATION
 General                   •     Undertake detailed surveys where required to better understand feasibility, the impact on
                                 existing vegetation, infrastructure, etc., and the need for localised widening of proposed
                                 paths.
                           •     Source Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) data to confirm the location of existing utilities.




                                                                       PO
                           •     Undertake detailed cost estimates informed by the findings of additional survey and DBYD
                                 data.
                           •     Confirm the use of raised priority cycle crossings along the corridor.
                           •     Confirm driveway treatments to be applied along the corridor.
                           •     Further investigation required of crossing points and connections to PCN.
                           •     Confirm if wayfinding can be extended to key destinations on connecting PCN routes where
                                                           CIL
                                 wayfinding has not yet been rolled out.
                           •     Ensure cycle street designs encourage low traffic speed (30km/h or less) and remain
                                 consistent with NDP.
                           •     Confirm lighting type and locations along the corridor. This should consider environmental
                                 issues associated with lighting within bushland and coastal reserve and impacts to koalas
                                        N
                                 and turtles.
                           •     Review latest pedestrian and cyclist crash data to ensure design adequately addresses any
                                 identified issues.
                                     OU

 Segment 1: Noosa          •     Confirm path grades for the proposed separated boardwalk adjacent Noosa Drive, the
 Drive                           suitability for pedestrians and cyclists, and the need for design refinements to improve
                                 usability and comfort (e.g. addition of level rest areas, greater path meandering to reduce
                                 grade)
                           •     Confirm alignment of boardwalk and impact on existing vegetation.
                           •     Confirm cyclist sight distance on boardwalk and fencing solutions. Also consider impacts of
         TC



                                 railing height.
                           •     Confirm Noosa Drive/service road intersection arrangement, focusing on solutions to reduce
                                 vehicle entry speeds and ensure safe vehicle-cyclist interactions.
                           •     Confirm suitability of on-street parking locations on Noosa Drive how to manage conflicts at
                                 driveways to ensure cyclist and motorist sight lights are not impeded.
 Segment 2: Noosa          •
       NO




                                 Confirm impacts to existing vegetation and bus stops from the implementation of a village
 Junction                        scale cycle track.
                           •     Apply appropriate driveway treatment to support cyclist priority.
 Segment 3:                •     Confirm how to manage conflicts at driveways and intersections to ensure safe sight lines for
 Sunshine Beach                  cyclists.
                           •     Confirm shared path and crossing alignments (e.g. ability to meander path) and widths (e.g.
                                 ability to apply localised path narrowing) to avoid impacting existing utilities and vegetation.
                                 If utilities are to removed, identify suitable alternative locations to enable the potential
                                 future implementation of a separated path along Pacific Avenue.
