All intersections of major roads in the vicinity of the subject site are roundabout controlled. All
intersections with minor or local roads are traditional three or four arm priority controlled
intersections. The main access to Noosa Bowls Club and Noosa Fair Shopping Centre is via the
roundabout controlled intersection of Cooyar Street and Lanyana Way. Indirect access via
Sunshine Beach Road and Wyandra Street is also possible and Arcadia Street provides egress.


3.2        Public Transport, Pedestrian and Cyclist Facilities
The new Noosa Heads transit centre was opened in August 2011. The transit centre caters for
local, regional and interstate bus services. The transit centre is designed to provide modern
facilities in a central location and remove car and bus trips from the road network around
Hastings Street. The transit centre provides ‘kiss and go’ drop off areas as well as end of trip
cyclist facilities including bicycle storage.
Formal pedestrian footpaths are located on both sides of Noosa Drive, Sunshine Beach Road and
Lanyana Way in the vicinity of the site. Pedestrian ‘zebra’ crossings are provided on each of these
roads also. Arcadia Street is identified as a shared zone, with low traffic speeds allowing for
pedestrians to cross along its length. Pedestrian footpaths are provided on one side of Wyandra
Street only.
Cooyar Street provides a shared path on the eastern side and the northern side of David Low
Way, east of Cooyar Street. Dedicated on-street cycle lanes are located on Noosa Drive and
Cooyar Street.
