10. Public Transport, Pedestrian and Bicycle
    Facilities

10.1       Development Provision Review
It is anticipated that the public transport facilities located at the Noosa Heads Transit Centre
would adequately cater for the proposed development expansion. It is noted however that as the
Noosa Junction area grows, services may also have to increase to cater for higher public transport
demands. It is understood that Translink regularly monitor patronage at bus stations and would
increase the frequency of services if required. A stop for local buses is provided at the main
entrance to the Noosa Fair Shopping Centre.
The pedestrian and bicycle facilities are generally in accordance with the provisions of the Noosa
Junction Masterplan Report shown in Appendix A, with no accessibility issues identified.
It is understood that The Noosa Plan would refer to Austroads guidelines for bicycle storage
provision. The draft SCPS clearly identifies bicycle parking rates for each type of use. Table 10.1
shows the required Austroads and draft SCPS bicycle parking rates for the proposed development.

The proposed shopping centre expansion supplies a total of 45 bicycle parking spaces for Stage 1
and 69 spaces for Stage 2. It is noted that this bicycle parking supply is less than required from
Table 10.1 however, from on-site observations of exiting use, should provide sufficient parking
and storage capacity.
