              Feedback:

              There were some objections to the temporary replacement of the eight parallel car parks,
              however there was also feedback from Hastings Street retailers that traffic was able to flow
              better as a result.

              The small reduction in car parking spaces as a result of these temporary changes was more
              than offset by the creation of an additional 250 paid car parks in Noosa Heads Lions Park.
              Recent discussions with Hastings Street Association have requested that the parallel car parks
              be temporarily converted into loading bays rather than bicycle and scooter parking at peak
              periods. Further consultation is required.
              Value for money:
              This was a very low cost initiative. The temporary scooter parking was installed using
              temporary tape which was easily removed. The bike rack is being used elsewhere and the
              bollards were already in existence.
              Areas for improvement:
                  e  Continue to work in collaboration with the Hastings Street Association to negotiate with
                      retailers opposed to the temporary replacement of parallel parking.
                  e  Work with Hastings Street Association to determine the best temporary use of parallel
                     car parking bays
                  e   Improve communication to ensure people understand that changes are only temporary
                     during the Christmas and Easter peak periods.
                  e   Review the optimal number of parallel parks that need to be temporarily replaced in
                     order to achieve desired outcomes e.g. limited to the first four bays only?
