C. Note that continued use of the Noosa Heads Lions Park greenspace for car parking on long
weekends and school holidays is contrary to the Department of Resources park designation, the
Noosa Design Principles, the Noosa Plan, The Transport Strategy and the spirit and intent of
Council’s September 17, 2020 resolution;
D. Note that shire-wide free weekend buses, that provide alternative means of accessing the Noosa
Heads precinct, was introduced to the network in February 2022;
E. Discontinue car parking in the Noosa Heads Lions Park on long weekends and Queensland July
and September school holidays after this Easter Period, as per the September 17, 2020 Council
resolution;
F. Approve the use of the Noosa Heads Lions Park Reserve for paid parking during Christmas and
Easter School holidays for a further 12 months, with delegation to the CEO to reduce the days subject
to weather, over the following periods:
• Queensland Christmas school holidays including Saturday 9, Sunday 10, Saturday 16, Sunday 17,
Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 December 2023, Tuesday 26 December 2023 to Sunday 14 January
2024, Saturday 20 to 21 January 2024;
• Queensland Easter school holidays from Friday 29 March to Sunday 14 April 2024;
G. Write to the Minister of the Department of Resources to inform of request the intended proposed
use of Noosa Heads Lions Park Reserve for peak period parking during the above-mentioned
periods, and that community engagement and future use of the park is proposed to be undertaken
as part of Noosa Council’s Destination Management Plan;
H. Delegate the CEO to work with the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club to determine new paid carparking
pricing for Lions Park that offsets the reduction in revenue and better reflects the cost of carparking
on community greenspace in the Hastings Street precinct;
I. Approve allocation of 50% of the car parking revenue after GST to the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club
and the remaining revenue towards Go Noosa initiatives and park
remediation;
J. That an amount equivalent to 50% of Council’s share of the ‘profit’ from car parking in the Noosa
Heads Lions Park Reserve be held ‘in reserve’ and allocated to recreational improvements in Noosa
Heads Lions Park for residents and visitors alike, noting that the term ‘profit’ refers to Council’s share
of the revenue less costs associated with parking on the reserve; and
K. Seek community feedback on the use of Noosa Heads Lions Park for car parking as part of the
proposed Destination Management Plan.
L. Request a report to Council advising of traffic modelling and future impact, should the park no
longer be utilised for overflow parking at peak periods.

opportunities as they become available.
