Outcomes of an eight-week community consultation process undertaken for a future mass transit system along the coast will be posted on a public website.
Sunshine Coast Council has outlined how it will present the outcomes of the major community feedback project undertaken which was due to wrap up on June 22.
Pop-up stalls have been held around the region while an online survey has also been running to gather responses to the proposed mass transit draft options analysis report.

Options considered for a 13km coastal stretch from Maroochydore to Kawana included light rail, rapid bus and trackless trams.
A council spokeswoman said a comprehensive analysis of the feedback would begin "shortly after all posted submissions are collated".
"The analysis will include a review of feedback provided via the wide range of consultation activities including pop-up booths, online surveys, key stakeholder meetings, intergenerational forum and submissions," the spokeswoman said.
"All survey responses are being considered and a report will be presented to council in due course."
The spokeswoman said the council would also publish consultation outcomes on the project Have Your Say webpage.
"The Options Analysis report will be reviewed in light of the feedback received during the engagement process and be amended, expanded or qualified to the extent that the results of the engagement process provide a clear basis for doing so," the spokeswoman said.
The spokeswoman confirmed the agenda and report for the final Mass Transit Options Analysis discussion would be made available "the week before the applicable meeting".
Pending councillors' agreement, the finalised report would be sent to the state government for consideration and assessment as the basis of the next phase - the Detailed Business Case.
