Page 39 - Final Noosa Cycling and Walking Strategy and Implementation Plan 2020 - 2040

5-year implementation plan

Table 14 lists the projects in the 5-year implementation
plan. A total of 29 projects including 19 low cost/missing link
projects have been identified. The estimated cost of these
projects totals $14.6 million and includes grant funding.

The Garth Prowd Bridge and Noosa Parade projects will
provide a high-standard bike riding and walking connection
between Noosaville and Noosa Heads, two of Noosa’s
largest and busiest centres. These connections are
expected to be a key catalyst for the growth of bike riding
and walking.

10-year implementation plan

Table 15 lists the projects in the 10-year implementation
plan. A total of 12 projects including 6 low cost/missing
link projects have been identified. The estimated cost to
Council for these projects totals $8.1 million, with $750k for
additional low cost missing link projects.

The Noosa Drive projects will connect to the upgraded
facilities proposed along Noosa Parade as part of the
5-year implementation plan. Combined with the Sunshine
Beach Road project, connectivity between Noosaville,
Noosa Heads and Noosa Junction will be significantly
improved, particularly for cyclists. Currently, high vehicular
traffic and pedestrian volumes combined with limited bike
riding facilities in sections is likely to discourage many
people from riding along Noosa Parade and Sunshine
Beach Road.
