  Parking at Peregian is being used as a revenue raiser for NSC on every 1st & 3rd Sunday each month when the Peregian markets are taking place. There is no doubt that NSC and/or its employees are specifically trying to target out-of-towners and showing no mercy or leniency for such trivial issues as nose-in compulsory parking.

  Apparently the NSC believes this rule is there as Peregian is a food precinct and they don't want exhaust fumes in cafes. I could (maybe) believe this if an effort was made to warn out-of-towners about this special type of parking and to sign post better if this was such a huge issue. Keep in mind, there are no fumes coming from a parked car!!

  I tried to appeal to NSC with my story only to be told, you broke the law and that is that. I also visited Peregian markets again 2 weeks later to find the NSC parking officer doing exactly the same thing and I counted 6 cars fined in 15 minutes.

  We reported a tree down across our fence from adjoining council property to a very helpful person on the front desk, stating it was not an urgent job but was blocking the fire break. To our surprise it was done the next morning by two wonderful polite council workers. Thank you and a big thumbs up!!

  I think there are just a lot of Wingers giving bad reviews!

  Always friendly on the phone and within reason the matter in question was always resolved satisfactory.

  We are a small family owned bus operator and recently brought a large group of elderly ladies to Tewantin. There was no parking available for buses so parked temporarily in the boat trailer park and received a parking ticket. There is no adequate parking for buses and coaches. Noosa council does not want tourists. Noosa would rather take $94 from a small family business rather than have them bring in business worth thousands of dollars.

  I have been a resident of Noosa Heads since 20 years and had only good experiences with our Council and Staff.

  I feel just as sorry for the residents of Peregian and the Market people that likely have no knowledge of this rort or the fact it happens every time the Markets take place. I'm sure they would be devastated to know how NSC is driving away their business.

  Personally I have no time for people who create and hide behind policy instead of trying to fix a problem, i.e. if one exists. I'm not sure if exhaust fumes on café patrons was a major issue in Peregian previously, but simply fining the unsuspecting out-of-towner will not fix this issue. NSC, maybe consider using my hard-earned $94 that you took, along with all of the other poor suckers money for the same idiotic offence (without warning or compassion) and use it to educate the public about this issue if it is a problem. Better still, how about not targeting events that specifically attract vulnerable and unaware tourists for your ridiculous revenue-raising fines.

  Also, attached is a photo of a car nowhere near a shop or café, but ticketed just the same as all parks are mandated as nose-in, not just the ones that are near food outlets.

  I also tried to approach the NSC parking officer as he was writing another of his tickets and suggested politely that maybe a warning for people that don't know was a better option. I was told with obvious disdain that "I don't chase people that have broken the law". Good for him, maybe a short note on a windscreen advising why this was a specific policy for Peregian would have been a better method for getting tourists to return to the Peregian markets and Noosa, but that's only my opinion of course.

  In case NSC didn't know, this is not how the rest of Australia parks as tail-in parking is by far the safest method if a vehicle has reversing camera and side mirrors. In my case, I stopped with some friends from Brisbane to get a coffee at a local Peregian café and was aware that the parking spot was limited to 1/2 hour only. I was not aware that nose-in was even written below the time on the sign in small letters or even after being fined $94 for this innocuous offence, that this was an offence.

  NSC, if there was a zero rating instead of one star, you would get it for your lack of respect for tourists and tourism.
