Car Parking Strategies

Hastings Street and Noosa Junction Precincts Car Parking Strategy

In 2004 a study was undertaken to determine options for better managing car parking and traffic in the Hastings Street and Noosa Junction precincts.  Hastings Street and its approach roads are particularly vulnerable to congestion at peak holiday periods.  The objective of the study was to identify a preferred option for managing this traffic, reducing congestion and increasing the person capacity of both precincts whilst acknowledging that there will be progressively increased demands placed on the transport network over time.

Recommendations of the study included:

  • Consolidation of car parking to a single location
  • Expansion of Noosa’s Free Holiday Bus Service
  • Park and Ride between Noosa Junction and Hastings Street Precinct at Peak Times
  • Dynamic real time traffic management plan
