6.   Noosa Heads Lions Park Car Park

The Noosa Heads Lions Park was to be used as a car park from 3-12 April but was closed for
four days due to weather conditions; as such the park was used for 6 of the possible 10 days.
Vehicles are charged a flat rate of $10. The car park was managed by the Tewantin - Noosa
Lions Club with assistance from Council’s Works Superintendent, Fred Spinks. There were a
total of 1,069 cars with a daily average of 178 vehicles. The total income generated from the car
park was $10,690 with 60% of the parking revenue going to the Tewantin Noosa Heads Lions
Club. The remaining revenue is used for fence hire around the playground and bbq area, and
park refurbishment. Traffic control was cancelled as it was not deemed necessary.
