Examples of these local centre zones include centres within Beachmere, Bongaree, Lawnton etc. These areas
appear to be comparable to Noosa Centre Zones. The published maximum and minimum parking rates within
the MBRC Zone Code are highlighted in Table 6-6.

Noosa Shire’s parking requirements have also been compared to industry guidelines and visionary regional
councils, to explore the range of future potential parking rate reductions. This is shown in Figure 6-3 and Figure
6-4.

As can be seen from Figure 6-3 and Figure 6-4, there is significant scope for a reduction in parking minimums
in the long term, as public transport and active transport options improve, and development density increases.
