Clamp down on parking

Noosa National Park carpark last Sunday.

All day setting up camp in the Noosa National Park carpark may soon be under review with Noosa Council looking at including the carpark within its regulated parking zone.
Council says the Department of National Parks, Sport and Racing initiated discussions to allow Council to take over management of both Noosa National Park and Laguna Lookout carparks as well as other National Park carparks within the shire.
The changes are among a number of amendments council is proposing to its Local Laws.
Other amendments include changing the approval criteria for the operation of both an ‘accommodation park’ and ‘shared facility accommodation’ and a seven day limit on for sale/lease/sold signs following settlement.
Council plan to refer the proposed local law amendments to State entities then public consultation. Submissions will be reviewed by council staff and reported to council for consideration. The Local Law amendments are on the agenda for this month’s Services and Organisation Committee meeting.
