                 order to meet their day to day needs, earn a living, mix with others and form
                 relationships. In an area with dispersed services transport is a particularly significant
                 issue.

                 People will be encouraged to use transport alternatives other than the private car.

                 The road network for Noosa Shire will be low key, with predominantly two lane roads
                 and roundabouts, and with local streets being vibrant public spaces.       Adverse
                 environmental impacts of road traffic on the community will be minimised.
•    Peak traffic and parking loads during holiday periods will not be accommodated by road or parking
     upgrading due to the potentially significant impacts on both the natural and human-related core
     values of Noosa Shire.

•    The provision of carparking access must not adversely impact on pedestrian movements, particularly
     in town centres, village centres and business locations.

•    Noosa Shire is progressing towards an integrated and accessible network for pedestrian and bicycle
     movements including provisions to enable equitably shared road space, and for off-road systems.

•    Noosa Shire seeks to provide quality and innovative community transport for its residents and
     visitors, including better linking the hinterland with the coast.

•    Sunshine Coast and Brisbane airports service residents and visitors of Noosa Shire.

•    The Noosa River is used for low speed visitor transport purposes, offering an alternative to the use
     of roads and providing convenient access to special events.
