  of the Noosa Heads Lions Park Reserve during peak periods as per the Motion of March 16,

  Council lifeguards, emergency services vehicles, NYE rapid response area, and additional
  facilities such as waste collection, temporary toilet block etc;
  G. Note that a Parking Management Plan, including a Local Parking Plan for Noosa Heads is
  under preparation and a Movement and Place study is proposed for the 2025/26FY, that closely
  considers carparking and circulation in the Main Beach locality including future use of the Noosa
  Heads Lions Park, the Noosa Heads Bus Station, the Maze Carpark and the Main Beach Local
  Government Reserve which will wholistically consider the uses, design and circulation within
  these critical spaces for Noosa Heads and will be subject to community engagement; and
  H. Note that Council’s resolution on 13 September 2021 that allowed the concept of a one-way
