The above parking demand management options were further distilled into specific recommendations for the
centres. These are summarised below:
      Opportunities to provide additional parking supply were identified in the Noosa Junction study area, with
       the site adjacent to the TransLink bus station identified as the preferred option. Additional Noosa Junction
       parking (either two-level or three-level), could be used to supplement Hastings Street parking supply during
       periods of peak temporal parking demand (i.e. weekend beach trips) through the provision of a dedicated
       shuttle services between Noosa Junction parking and Hastings Street.
      The implementation of priced parking in the shorter term is considered an appropriate intervention for the
       Hastings Street study area, given the constraints on additional parking within the study area and the high
       level of current and future estimated utilisation of existing parking supply. Complementary to this, it is also
       recommended that real-time information on parking availability and directional signage be implemented
       before Hastings Street (eastern roundabout intersection) to alert drivers to a parking availability (or lack
       thereof) at the Noosa Woods carpark, reducing overall traffic circulation through Hastings Street.
      Directional signage can be used to guide drivers, particularly visitors who may be unfamiliar with the area,
       to nearby alternative parking areas – particularly at Noosaville, Noosa Junction and Peregian Beach. While
       directional signage is not expected to significantly impact upon parking demand for centres, it would
       improve relative parking utilisation across the study area.
