 GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                                                            25 AUGUST 2014


 1.               Route 065 Noosa Junction – Noosaville Shuttle

 Four existing Sunbus routes service Noosa Junction, Noosa Heads, Noosa Parade, and Gympie
 Terrace (see Attachment 1: TransLink Network Map).

 Routes

 626 – Sunrise Beach to Tewantin via Noosa Heads
 627 – Sunshine Beach to Tewantin via Noosa Heads
 630 - Noosa to Nambour via Eumundi
 631 - Noosa to Nambour via Eumundi and Cooroy

 During the 2014 Easter Free Holiday Buses, Routes 626 and 627 were included in the free
 services and Routes 630 and 631 were not. (One adult return fare from Noosa Heads bus station
 to Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club on Routes 630 or 631 is $10.40 with a paper ticket and $7.06/
 $5.66 (off peak) with a gocard).

 Route 065: Noosa Junction - Noosaville temporary shuttle has been included in the Free Holiday
 Buses service from 2004-2010 and Easter 2014.

 Over Easter 2014, the shuttle operated from 9am-4pm and serviced Noosa Junction, Noosa
 Heads, Noosa Parade, and Gympie Tce (the service turns around at the intersection of Eumundi
 Noosa Road and Hilton Terrace). The shuttle did not run to a schedule but was dispatched as
 and when required. The shuttle was designed to travel in between the 626 & 627. Dispatch of the
 shuttle was coordinated by the Sunbus passenger assistant. Feedback from Sunbus was that the
 shuttle assisted in moving people quickly during the busiest peak periods.

 Service frequencies and coverage are shown in Table 1 below. Routes 626 & 627 are scheduled
 (traffic permitting) to offer a 15 minute frequency at Noosa Junction, Noosa Heads and
 Noosaville (river).
