Holiday Parking Pressure Around the Mooloolaba Waterfront
Holiday visitors should therefore allow extra time to find a space around the waterfront rather than relying on an immediate bay.

The surrounding parking is governed by council arrangements, making the signed duration particularly important when an aquarium visit extends into a meal or waterfront walk.
