Parking on Campus
Parking on campus is limited so we recommend you use public transport if possible.
Eastern Avenue traffic redirection details
On Camperdown Campus a Pay and Display system operates. Pay and Display machines dispense a printed ticket, which must be clearly displayed on the vehicle dashboard, in accordance with the instructions printed upon it. Any vehicle not displaying a current University parking permit, an approved temporary visitor's pass, or a valid Pay and Display ticket is liable to receive an infringement notice. The registered owner of the vehicle is responsible for any penalty imposed.
Pay and Display machines accept $1 and $2 coins. Most machines do not accept notes. Change machines for converting notes to coins are located:
- on Eastern Avenue, in front of the Anderson Stuart Building
- on Manning Road, in front of the Old Teachers' College
- on Maze Crescent, behind the Wentworth Building
- on Western Avenue, near the entrance to the Western Ave (underground) Carpark
- in the Shepherd Street Carpark
We strongly advise visitors to bring coins with them as these machines can run out of change.

Parking on campus is limited, so you are advised to arrive early. If parking is unavailable you can try the suburban streets surrounding the University.
Drivers wishing to park in marked disabled parking bays require current valid Road Transport Authority (RTA) Mobility Parking Permit. Application forms can be obtained from Disability Services, the University Health Service, and RTA offices. Application forms are also available online at www.rta.nsw.gov.au.
A valid RTA Mobility Parking Permit authorises permit holders to park free of charge in marked disabled parking bays and in any other unrestricted parking bay.
An RTA Mobility Parking Permit DOES NOT guarantee a vacant disabled parking bay and DOES NOT give a visitor or student a right to park in a particular parking bay, or in bays marked with restrictions such as "University Owned Vehicles Only" and "Loading Zone".
All drivers must comply with any signage or pavement markings that appear at access points to individual carparks, eg. "Vehicles Authorised By College Only" and "Vehicles Authorised By University Sports Union Only". They must also comply with signs or markings that appear beside or on a marked bay indicating that a particular bay or series of bays is subject to some special restriction, eg. "15 Minute Parking", "2 Hour Parking", "Disabled", "Loading Zone" and "University Owned Vehicles Only".
Infringement Notices will be issued by authorised University Traffic and Security Officers and will be processed by the State Debt Recovery Office. Fines are subject to enforcement in the same way as if the offence occurred on a public street. The present fine applicable to illegal parking on the University Campus is at least $77.00. The penalty is determined under the Australian Road Rules and is not established by the University.
