The Noosa Heads Lions Park was used as a car park from 26 December 2016 – 7 January 2017.
Vehicles were charged a flat rate of $20. The car park was managed by the Tewantin Noosa
Lions Club with assistance from the Cooroy Camphor Laurel group and the Noosa Heads Lions
Club. There was a total of 3,500 vehicles with a daily average of 269 vehicles.

The total income generated from the car park was $70,000 with 40% of the parking revenue
