2017-03-13 GC - Attachment 1 to Item 5 - Draft Transport Strategy 2017-2027

     There are a number of transport related areas which fall under the jurisdiction of the
     Queensland State Government. These include: public transport (bus and train services), plus
     certain main roads and associated road intersections. The Noosa National Park (including
     the car park at the end of Park road), is also State controlled. Noosa Council will continue to
     collaborate with and advocate to the relevant State Government bodies to address transport
     matters which fall outside of Council’s direct control.

     The key issues highlighted most frequently by residents are:

        •   traffic congestion in popular spots
        •   car parking
        •   impact of big events
        •   making it easier for walking, cycling, and scooters
        •   concerns about specific roads and intersections
        •   inadequate public transport services
        •   limitations in Noosa’s town plan

     For full details of community & stakeholder feedback see Attachment 1.

     Transport is a complex issue and agreement on solutions can be contentious. The
     development of this Draft Transport Strategy has been informed by the suggestions of
     residents and key stakeholders plus the expert advice of traffic and transport consultants.
