                        The Federal Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1992 and the Disability Standards for
                        Accessible Public Transport 2002 requires 90% of Public Transport Bus Stops to be DDA
                        compliant by 31 December 2017 and 100% compliant by 31 December 2022. Importantly
                        this requirement does not apply to School Bus Stops. As at February 2019 Noosa Council

                        upgrades to 32 stops by 31 December 2022.
