Parking Regulations

Find a place to park, learn about parking rules and how to park safely and legally in Noosa. All drivers should be aware of Noosa’s local parking rules.

Parking in Noosa Shire is regulated by Council under several laws. These exist to support road safety and to control parking where it’s necessary improve accessibility and protect underground services and the environment. 

Drivers must obey the signs. Look for them when you park to make sure you are parking legally. If there are any restrictions they will be shown on official signs close to the parking zone. In all other cases drivers should comply with Queensland’s Road Rules.

Useful information

  • A vehicle is abandoned if it is left on the road for a period of time and which appears to have no owner or a vehicle that has been left in a hazardous location.

    Vehicles are abandoned for a range of reasons. If you no longer need your vehicle, please arrange for it to be recycled for future use. Council spends significant amounts of money seeking to identify owners and undertaking regulatory action every year.

    Please see the Abandoned vehicle fact sheet for further information.

  • You must not park a vehicle that is for sale or hire on Council controlled land or roads. Council regularly monitors and may issue infringements to vehicle owners who do not comply with this.

    See our Vehicles for Sale on Public Land Fact Sheet for more information.

  • Camping is only permitted in approved campsites or in compliance with the restrictions that are in place at the location. It is an offence under Noosa Council Subordinate Local Law 4 – Schedule 2 to ‘stay, camp or sleep overnight in a vehicle or other mobile accommodation, tent or sleeping bag’ in Local Government Controlled areas and Roads.

    Please see our Caravan and Campervan Parking fact sheet for more information.

  • No stopping means that you cannot stop your vehicle at all.

    No parking means you can stop your vehicle for up to two minutes, provided that the driver stays within three metres of the vehicle. No parking is commonly used for passenger drop off and pick up areas such as around schools and shops.
