Council did not confirm to the
Daily how many cars parked in the facility last week. Mooloolaba residents of 16 years Phil and Jill Sickling visit the beach most days and said they wouldn t use the new car park. Not if we have to pay for it … we would search the streets instead, Mr Sickling said. They spend between two and three hours at the beachfront almost everyday and could not justify the $7 it would cost to park. Mr Sickling said he didn t agree with the council s decision and was disappointed the community did not have more of a say. Residents weren t asked if they wanted council to spend $18 million on a car park, and then be charged to use it, he said.
