Noosa Council was joined by Noosa Junction and Hastings Street associations last Friday to launch a raft of congestion-busting initiatives aimed at cutting the holiday traffic.
The Go Noosa trials will extend to the Australia Day long weekend and include free buses, a Hastings Street staff ride sharing app and roadside digital information boards which will alert drivers to the car parking availability in Hastings Street and direct them to alternative travel options.The free holiday bus service has been extended to cover the entire school holidays this year, with free travel on local Sunbus and Translink bus services on six bus routes from Peregian Beach in the south to Noosa Heads and the hinterland towns of Cooroy, Pomona and Cooran.
Paid parking will be managed by the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club and be available at the Noosa Heads Lions Park from Boxing Day to 13 January.
And traffic controllers will be on hand to help pedestrians cross the roads around Hastings Street as well as assist buses to get in and out of the traffic.
