Electric buses - talks underway
JIM FAGAN
A vision of Noosa-style electric buses transporting passengers for free was described to Noosa Council’s infrastructure and services committee by Mayor Noel Playford on Tuesday.
And he gave an indication that the future
may not be too far away when he revealed discussions have already been held with the Queensland major bus transport and bus manufacturing company, Transit Australia, and “they were interested.” He told Councillors Sandy Bolton (acting chairman) and Frank Pardon that in two weeks’ time he and council’s interim director of community infrastructure, Martin Drydale, were
meeting senior executives of Translink, council’s public transport provider, and “we have a reasonable chance of pulling something off in the not too distant future.” Mr Playford was commenting on a recommendation to the committee by project design and delivery co-ordinator Ross Sanderson that all works at the Noosa Parade bus facility, including pavement overlays, be put on hold until
planning is carried out and agreement reached in the area between Noosa Lions Park and the “Maze” car park. This included a $300,000 plan to provide cycle lanes in Noosa Parade between Noosa Drive and the entrance to Lions Park.
