Queensland Residents draws to the attention of the House: the failure of the current Draft Southern Sunshine Coast Public Transport Strategy to address a region wide solution for the public transport needs of the total Sunshine Coast including the Sunshine Coast Regional Council and Noosa Shire Council Local Government Areas. The Sunshine Coast Is (and is planned to remain) a community of communities that are decentralized but requiring connectivity. The current draft Strategy's focus on spinal (or linear) solutions for the Southern Coastal Section of the region fails to address the needs of those living in the Northern and Hinterland areas of the Sunshine Coast.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to: Amend and expand the current Draft Southern Sunshine Coast Public Transport Strategy to extend It to the whole of the Sunshine Coast region and to change the key priority from a spinal, mass transit solution along the Coastal Corridor in favour of a region wide, interconnected, flexible, zero-emissions and adaptable solution that will service not only those currently in the whole region but also those who will live across the whole region in the future.
