KEN & DESLEY NIXON QUESTION 1 Will Council implement regulated parking on the eastern side of Kingfisher Drive North of Brolga Place? Response provided by Shaun Walsh Director Infrastructure Services Noosa Council is currently developing a Parking Management Plan, a key initiative under the Noosa Corporate Plan, designed to ensure equitable, sustainable, adaptable, and efficient parking and kerbside management that can be applied to centres across the Shire that are experiencing parking issues. This plan will establish a framework and clear guidelines for managing both kerbside and off- street parking, balancing capacity, demand, and community needs while providing a structured framework for evaluating future parking requests. The plan is being developed through a multi-stage process, including data collection, preparation of a decision matrix and kerbside hierarchy, feasibility studies, and stakeholder engagement. It is expected to be finalised in 2025. The outcomes of this plan will help assess parking demand in the area and identify the most effective management techniques to support the community and local businesses. Council is aware of critical parking issues around the Peregian Beach village, and will use your submission to help inform the Parking Management Plan QUESTION 2 Will Council provide a few more sets of bollards along the eastern side of Kingfisher Drive, similar to those that have been in place for many years adjacent to Brolga Place? Response provided by Shaun Walsh Director Infrastructure Services The traffic controls along Kingfisher Drive were placed many years near ago to Brolga Place and are a mixture of bollards, white and red delineator posts and boulders. As outlined above, assessment of new controls would await the Parking Management Plan and Framework to provide a consistent set of guiding principles that can be applied across the shire. Any new controls are also regulated by Austroads Guidelines and Australian Standards AS 1742.2 (Traffic Control Devices for General Use) & AS 1906.2 (Retroreflective Devices for Road Traffic Control).
