Cough up for parking Drivers may soon have to fork out to park at another Airlie Beach carpark as it is recommended councillors implement paid parking in the carpark next to the Whitsunday Sailing Club. The proposed fees will be in line with fees currently charged at the Port of Airlie, Coral Sea Marina and Airlie Beach Lagoon Precinct carparks. The cost will begin at $3 for zero to two hours and parking permits will also be available at $174 for 28 days, $874 for six months and $1398 for a year. Agenda documents state the installation of paid parking in the area will enable the Parking and Infringement Integrated Management System project to be finished.
