    Seconded:        Cr Wegener
    That item D be deleted, and new items D and E be added to read:
    D.   Write to the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy and seek Ministerial
         Approval for an inconsistent secondary use of the Noosa Heads Lions Park (Lot 117
         on SP108103) for paid car parking during school holidays and long weekends for the
         period of the public health declaration for the COVID-19 pandemic; and
    E.   That an amount equivalent to 50% of Council’s share of the ‘profit’ from car parking in

         improvements in Lions park for residents and visitors alike, noting that the term ‘profit’
         refers to Council’s share of the revenue less costs associated with rectifying any
         damage/impact from parking on the reserve, the hire of temporary fencing to protect
         children at the playground & BBQ area, parking signage at Lions Park, the printing of
         tickets and the use of traffic control to assist in the movement of pedestrians from Lions
         Park.
