Noosa is a small – medium sized town in Queensland with a strong car culture and low density, dispersed neighbourhoods. The study encompassed reviewing economic models for public transport services, examining alternative funding models, researching appropriate vehicles for future use, studying existing routes and potential future routing options, considering locations for transport hubs / interchange, evaluating the environmental, social and monetary benefits of new services and outlining an implementation programme. |

Noosa, Queensland, Australia Client: Noosa Council |
The commission required the development of a functional transit centre that grasped the opportunity to create new public space that reinforces the transit centre as a destination and seamless integration with adjacent retail. Key challenges were to ensure that accessibility to the area was maximised despite loss of car parking, the definition of a new generation of transit centre previously unseen in the area and a high level of sustainability. Development of the transit centre was aided by working with Noosa corporate governance groups covering transport, economic and social sectors together with a strong relationship between ITP, Noosa Council and strategic public transport authority Translink. |
