Park & Go Options

Park & Go areas are designated locations where you can park your car—either for free or for a small fee—and continue your journey around the Noosa Shire using alternative transport options such as the free holiday bus loop 9065), Translink public transport bus services or active travel such as walking and cycling.

These areas help reduce traffic congestion near popular destinations and make it easier for everyone to enjoy Noosa during busy holiday periods.

Several Park & Go locations provide convenient connections to Main Beach, Noosa Heads, and other key destinations. Some sites operate temporarily during peak holiday seasons to help manage increased visitor traffic and support smoother travel across the Shire.
