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

What’s next?
The following strategies, to be considered in the medium to long term are in no particular order
and will be reviewed as part of the on-going Transport Strategy prioritisation process.

    •   Investigate using public transport ferries on the Noosa river.

    •   	
        Consider options for the creation of car free or shared zones which restrict vehicle
        access to a street or area for the exclusive use of pedestrians and cyclists.

    •   Subject to the outcome of the electric bus trial consider use of electric buses.

    •   	Develop a Noosa visitor transport information pack containing details on how to have a
        “car free & carefree” holiday in Noosa.

    •   Consider ways to increase the uptake of commuter cycling.

    •   	Investigate use of existing pathways as a network for motorised scooters as well as for
        walkers and cyclists.

    •   Consider expanding the Flexilink service to other locations e.g. Kin Kin

    •   	Consider ways to encourage the use of motorbikes, scooters and electric bicycles
        including priority parking.

    •   Investigate the potential for Noosa Council to operate its own public transport services.

    •   Review and prioritise all missing links of walking and cycling pathways.

    •   	Conduct an audit of community buses (Aged Care, resorts, RSL, school buses etc) to
        identify opportunities for synergies with meeting shire-wide transport needs.

    •   	
        Encourage the development of a suite of Apps (cycling, park & ride locations,
        pathways etc.) to facilitate uptake of sustainable transport.

    •   	
        Collaborate with community/private sector to establish electric charging stations at key
        locations.

    •   	Investigate establishment of community/private sector bike hire scheme at specific
        locations (electric/non-electric).

    •   	
        Investigate  the provision of End of Trip facilities (showers, lockers, bicycle parking etc.)
        in the public domain where there are high employment numbers e.g. Noosa Junction.

    •   Investigate alternative access options to Noosa Woods.

    •   Investigate alternative access options to Little Cove.

    •   	Research and investigate smart technology transport solutions and their application to
        Noosa e.g. Autonomous or driverless buses.
