Noosa Heads                   Transport & Movement   PT infrastructure   Hastings Street needs a shuttle to / from the Heads to River to allow those with a car to get there.



Hinterland & Rural Villages   Transport & Movement   PT infrastructure   More bus services and infrastructure to Kin + Pomona + Tuckekoi. Include bus stops for safety and earlier and later services (x 4 )


                                                                         Bus service to Boreen Point is inflexible and unreliable. Should be covered by extended Flexi-Link service. Make Hasting Street and Park Rd

Noosa Heads                   Transport & Movement   PT infrastructure   Close Hastings Street to traffic (except service) and have more people using public transport and bikes



Hinterland & Rural Villages   Transport & Movement   PT infrastructure   Need some form of public transport to the hinterland areas. Without a car nothing accessible.


                                                                         Hard to get into Noosa - nor rural bus service and small bus even 3 times per week along school bus route. - Why not piggy back off these

Shire Wide                    Transport & Movement   PT infrastructure   Open air bus shuttle bus like in Hawaii which is affordable and frequent

Noosa Heads                   Transport & Movement   PT infrastructure   Public transport is not good and costs too much in Noosa


                                                                         The tourism industry provides a substantial positive impact on the local economy. I think small buses running on a regular timetable would
Shire Wide                    Transport & Movement   PT infrastructure   be beneficial to the congestion during peak season.


                                                                         Hoppa buses are a brilliant way around this - buses that operate on a fixed fare, continuous circuit around the shops and holiday places.
