The Go Noosa program also offers
* three Drop and Go zones on Noosa Parade, Hastings St bus interchange and Noosa Drive.

*Board at Noosa Heads Bus Station, temporary stops opposite The J and Weyba Road AFC grounds and at the TransLink stops at Williams Street and Quamby Place.
*400 free car parking spaces at the Weyba Road AFL grounds
*The Loop Bus is in addition to all the other Free Buses which last Christmas holidays saw almost 250,000 people use public transport instead of driving private cars which is a key objective of the Noosa Council and the community’s Transport Strategy
*Traffic controllers will also be in place in the Hastings Street area to help pedestrians cross busy roads and assist buses to get in and out of the traffic quickly.
*Data shows that when traffic control has been in place, the roundabouts don’t get blocked and bus travel time from Noosa Junction to Hastings Street reduces from 14 minutes to 9 minutes.”
