Subscriber only Sunshine Coast Council has refused to reveal usage and financial figures from Mooloolaba s paid parking amid calls for a review on the charges. The fee was touted as the best way to pay off the loan of $23.5 million for the construction of the building, instead of adding $18 a year for 20 years to every ratepayer s bill. Questions from the Daily on how many cars used the Brisbane Road facility went unanswered but a spokesman said it was well used on weekends and during events. Councillor Christian Dickson said multiple residents and businesses had told him the carpark was near empty most days.

DANIA BEACH, Fla. – A colony of African vervet monkeys has lived in Dania Beach, near the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, for decades, but more people have been noticing them lately.
Missy Williams, of the Dania Beach Vervet Project, was able to create a sanctuary for the colony of 40 monkeys near the Park N’ Go, an off-airport parking operator.
Dave Winquist, the manager at Park N’Go, said the monkeys are regular friendly visitors, and they are always looking for something to eat. They really like bananas and peanuts, he said.
