tourism operations within Noosa. No further assessment against the tourism DEO is required.

7.3.11     TRANSPORT AND MOBILITY FUNCTIONS

The Transport and Mobility Functions DEO is addressed as follows:

Community access for all is provided by a range of safe and efficient transport choices
appropriate to community needs, considering the location of residential uses, community and
shopping facilities, leisure opportunities and employment, by -
   i. facilitating access to employment, services, facilities and venues to meet the day to day
      needs of residents including earning a living, mixing with others and forming relationships;
  ii. encouraging people to use transport alternatives other than private car;
 iii. maintaining a road network for Noosa Shire that is low key, with predominantly two lane
      roads and roundabouts, and local streets that are vibrant public spaces;
 iv. minimising adverse environmental impacts from road traffic on the community;
  v. not undertaking road or parking upgrades to accommodate peak traffic and parking loads
      during holiday periods due to the potentially significant impacts on both the natural and
      human-related core values of Noosa Shire;
 vi. ensuring access to carparking does not adversely impact on pedestrian movements,
      particularly in town centres, village centres and business locations;
vii. integrating an accessible network for pedestrian and bicycle movements including the
      provision for equitably shared road space and off-road systems;
viii. providing quality and innovative community transport for its residents and visitors including
      better links between the hinterland and coast; and
 ix. maintaining Noosa River as a low speed visitor transport route, offering an alternative to
      the use of roads and convenient access during special events.

Comment: The site is highly accessible having good access to higher order roads and public
transport infrastructure. The nearest bus stop is within Goodchap Street along the frontage of the
site. The site has good connections to active transport infrastructure with an existing
pedestrian/cyclist pathway along Goodchap Street. The development will not impact the road
network.
