Student parking areas

Yellow student parking permit areas

If you have a student parking permit, you can park in the yellow parking areas (car parks 1, 4, 8, 9, 14, 21 [upper], 31, 35 and 37).

A parking permit does not guarantee you a parking bay.

If all the yellow student parking areas are full, you may park in short or long-term pay and display parking areas after purchasing and displaying a ticket.

Parking without a permit

For non-permit holders, or if the permit-parking areas are full, there are long and short-term pay and display parking areas:

• Long-term (8am to 5pm)
  Car Parks 9, 17, 23, 25, 31, 33 and 35.

• Short-term (8am to 5pm)
  The maximum amount of time you're allowed to park varies, so make sure to check before leaving your car.
  Car Parks 1, 3, 4, 20 (Car Park 37 parking is restricted between 7.00am to 8.00pm).

At the end of the time limit on the signage, the vehicle must be moved from the carpark.

Please don't park in reserved, disabled and service bays.

Red and yellow parking bays after hours

You don't need a permit for red and yellow bays on weekends, or after 5pm and before 8am on weekdays (except Car Park 37 where parking is restricted between 7.00am to 8.00pm, Monday to Friday)
