Noosa Shire Council,Illegal Campers,Overnight Campers

Drivers may have their vehicles towed away if they park overnight near the Noosa National Park as the local council tries to reduce noise and rubbish complaints.

What's next:Noosa Shire Council is escalating its crackdown on illegal camping by towing away vehicles parked overnight at a popular beach lookout.

Mr Smith said the 12-month trial could be extended to other parts of Noosa with further plans to use technology to catch "regular offenders"."Those restrictions are there to ensure everybody has equal access … the parking spaces are not filled up day after day by illegal campers," he said. "Are they going to tow them away with people in the cars? Because anyone who's here at 10pm till 4am is probably asleep in their car," he said."It's just going to cost a bunch of travellers money, who are all coming here to spend their money."

Noosa resident Vasse Yee says the housing shortage is causing more people than just backpackers to live in their cars.
