Based on assumed future growth in parking demand and observed existing utilisation, the additional carparks
required to meet Business as Usual (BAU) parking demand are shown in Table E-3.

As can be seen from Table E-3, all of Noosa Junction, Hastings Street, Noosaville, Peregian Beach and Sunshine
Beach will experience a shortfall in parking supply at an 85% utilisation target rate, while Hastings Street and
Sunshine Beach experience a shortfall in parking supply at a 100% utilisation rate.


Parking Demand Management Options
Following on from an assessment of additional carparking requirements without parking demand management
intervention, potential parking demand management interventions and their applicability to the above Noosa
centres were evaluated. Key potential parking demand management interventions included:
      Priced parking;
      Time-limited car parking and other priority controls;
      Directional signage and real-time information;
      Car share schemes;
      Green travel plans;
      Overflow parking plans;
      Park and ride services; and
      Additional parking supply.


Potential parking demand management options for each of the centres are shown in Table E-4.
