1.    Background

In late 2015, independent consultants, Parsons Brinckerhoff, were engaged to provide advice on
contemporary global responses to transport challenges. They were also asked to provide input
into transport in Noosa - where we are now, where we want to be, and how we might get there.

Based on the work of Parsons Brinkerhoff, stakeholder & community feedback and Councillor
workshops, a draft Transport Strategy document has been developed which provides a transport
vision, key principles, challenges, desired outcomes and proposed priority actions.

A timeline of the engagement and consultation undertaken is provided in the table below:
