Shuttle service well patronised

THE free Christmas holiday bus service has been deemed a success with more than 43,000 passengers taking up the offer.
The bus ran for 10 days from 26 December to 4 January with a price tag of $67,904 (excluding GST).
The service included five TransLink services, a temporary shuttle bus between Peregian Beach and Noosa Heads, Council Cabs and the Boreen Point Tewantin Flexilink service.
Throughout the summer period, Noosa Heads Lions Park was also used as a paid parking space for 13 days with 4437 cars using the parking space, generating $44,370 in income.
Sixty per cent of the parking revenue will go to the Tewantin-Noosa Heads Lions Club while the remaining 40 per cent will be used to fund traffic control and the park refurbishment.
