          2.1 Implement a prioritised program for the installation of new bicycle
          parking racks at key destinations. Key destinations include community   ✓  ✓
          facilities, recreation hubs, tourist attractors and major, district, local and
          neighbourhood Centres.
          2.2 In conjunction with the recreation strategy, investigate and identify
          multiple use sites (sports grounds, schools, parks and playgrounds)
          suitable for development of beginner and novice cycling infrastructure.
          Infrastructure may include learn to ride facilities, closed circuit loops, skills   ✓  ✓
          parks and pump tracks.
          Seek external funding for delivery of these works through avenues such as
          the State Government's Activate program.
          2.3 Investigate opportunities to enhance or add end-of-trip facilities in key
          centres and tourist hubs. Implement a prioritised program for upgrading of
          existing public facilities (eg public toilets with showers) and the construction
          of new end-of-trip facilities, including electric charging stations and   ✓         ✓
          lockers as well as surfboard racks at designated beachside locations
          (with the latter being considered as a short term priority issue). Investigate
          opportunities to partner or incentivise private sector to develop end-of-trip
          facilities for their workforce at key locations.

          2.4 To contribute to reaching Council's Zero Emissions Target, audit
          existing end-of-trip facilities at Council workplaces and provide or improve        ✓
          facilities where appropriate. Facilities could include bike parking, showers,
          lockers, irons/ironing boards etc.
          2.5 Investigate high demand routes and other locations (eg intersections)
          where further lighting would be beneficial, and develop a lighting      ✓                        ✓
          improvement program that identifies priorities based on nighttime demand,
          personal safety and road safety.
          2.6 Identify and provide mid-journey facility (eg drinking fountains and rest
          areas) requirements for each bike riding/walking route hierarchy category   ✓                    ✓
          in keeping with Noosa design principles. Facilities should be provided as
          part of all new bike riding and walking projects.

          2.7 Prepare and implement way-finding signage plans for new bike riding
          and walking routes in accordance with the Noosa Signage Guide. Way-  ✓                           ✓
          finding on existing routes to be audited and updated as required.

          2.8 Assess shade/shelter coverage along key routes and prioritise works
          to improve user comfort by increasing shade/shelter to reduce impact of
          heat. Utilise native species which provide ample canopy tree coverage   ✓                        ✓
          of paths and streets, whilst retaining sufficient space for safe pedestrian
          thoroughfare.

          2.9 In conjunction with the Trails Masterplan and Implementation Plan,
          identify and schedule end-of- trip facility requirements (eg toilets, lockers,   ✓
          trail maps and drinking fountains) for trail hubs.
