Finance
The initial TransLink estimate to operate the loop bus service for the Easter holidays is $51,082
+GST. However, the final costs may vary as TransLink and Sunbus will not have final costs until
completion of the trial.

It is proposed that the 065 Go Noosa Loop bus service be funded by income generated from the
Noosa Heads Lions Park paid parking and the balance of funds from the Sustainable Transport
Levy as described below.

 Cost Item                                                    Amount
 065 Loop Bus                                                  $51,082
 Funding
 Lions Park Paid Parking                                       $21,000
 Balance from Sustainable Transport Levy                       $30,082

Impacts to the Sustainable Transport Levy are as per below:

Sustainable Transport Levy balance as at 31 December 2019                      $2,364,196

Risks & Opportunities
 Risk                                                                 Mitigation
 Timing of TransLink providing final approval to operate the Easter   Maintain dialogue      with TransLink
 Go Noosa Loop bus service. The 065 Loop bus service is outside       contracts   team        and    senior
 of the standard routes and requires TransLink Service Review         management.
 Board approval. This request falls outside of their standard
 meeting timeframes and will require a special meeting (the date
 is yet to be confirmed)
