Getting around
Parking
Parking is a BIG issue at Uni, so big that I have no hope of covering the necessaries in a hundred words. The rules are very specific and are entirely inflexible. A couple of points though:
- There are no longer ANY parking permits available for students, with Pay and Display ruling the day.
- The Western carkpark has cheaper Pay and Display rates than the others (e.g. 0 - 4 hours = $1, other = $2).
- If you don't want to pay the fee, and need to park in the local area, don't block residents' drives or you'll be towed away!
- Get here early! The 0830 traffic jams are legendary.
- Also legendary are the difficulties finding parking after 1030 – especially in the Western Carpark.
Here are the current Pay and Display rates:
| Carpark | 0 - 4 hours | 4 - 6 hours | 6+ hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unicentre, Oval and South Western |
$2 | $4 | $6 |
| Western | $1 | $2 | $3 |
Here's a map of parking on campus (revised 2009) [PDF].
