4   NOOSA PARADE – BIKE LANES AND TRANSIT HUB
    That Council note the report by the Project Design & Delivery Co-ordinator to the
    Infrastructure & Services Committee Meeting dated 25 March 2014 and put on hold all
    works in the area of the Noosa Parade bus facility including pavement overlays, until
    planning is carried out and agreement reached on the full precinct that extends between
    the Noosa Lions Park and the ‘Maze’ car park noting that:
    A.   The proposed construction plans for the provision of cycle lanes in Noosa Parade
         between Noosa drive and the entrance to the Lions Park ($300,000) improve safety
         for cyclists, but continue to represent a safety risk for pedestrians;
    B.   Translink will be briefing Council on the future public transport requirements for
         Noosa Shire and this will provide Council with a better understanding of the status of
         the Noosa Parade bus facility; and
    C.   The SEQ Cycle Network Grant totalling $110,000 for the provision of on-road cycle
         lanes on Noosa Parade will need to be expended by June 2014, otherwise it will have
         to be returned.

         (a) and (b) of the Local Government Regulations that Council is satisfied that there is
         only one supplier who is reasonably available; and that due to the specialised nature
