SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                    10 MAY 2016


6.   Noosa Heads Lions Park Car Park

The Noosa Heads Lions Park was used as a car park from 25 March - 3 April. Vehicles were
charged a flat rate of $10. The car park was managed by the Tewantin - Noosa Lions Club with
assistance from the Cooroy Camphor Laurel group. There were a total of 2,600 cars with a daily
average of 260 vehicles. The total income generated from the car park was $26,000 with 60% of
the parking revenue going to the Tewantin Noosa Heads Lions Club.

Feedback from the Lions Club was that Council’s decision not to provide traffic control at the
Noosa Drive roundabout this Easter appeared to have minimal impact.
