Parking on campus

Staff are eligible to purchase a parking permit to park in the dedicated UNSW Permit Holder parking bays in the various carparks on campus.

If you are a full-time staff member on a 6-month or longer contract, you can pay for your parking permit through the salary deduction option and provide a copy of your vehicle registration papers with your application form. You can cancel your salary deduction at any time by returning the permit together with the completed cancellation form. 

If you are employed on a different basis, you will need to make a non-refundable up-front payment.

You can also purchase one-day parking permits from the Security & Traffic Management Office. On the day, you'll need to scratch off the day, date and month, and display on your dashboard.

Please visit the Security & Traffic Management Office to arrange your parking permit. Check how much you will need to pay for parking here.

If you need a parking permit for longer than a day, you will need to present your UNSW ID card and vehicle registration papers. You'll be able to discuss your options at the Security & Traffic Management Office. You will be able to park in any UNSW Permit Holder bay with this permit.

Loading zones are available for the period of time marked on the sign. You are expected to offload the materials you need, and then park in the permit holder or casual ticket parking areas. If you need to use the Loading Zone for a longer time period, advise your Estate Management Project Manager before time, who will contact the Security & Traffic Management Office for approval. For after-hours approvals contact UNSW Security on 9385 6000.

Permissions for Loading Zone parking extensions are only granted if emergency works are being undertaken, or if you need to work from your vehicle. Any vehicle type (not only commercial vehicles) can park in a Loading Zone bay if needed. 

Under the RMS Mobility Parking Scheme, mobility parking permit holders can park in any unreserved bay on campus. 

RMS Mobility parking permit holders can reserve a Mobility parking spot through either a non-refundable up-front payment for staff and students or salary deduction for staff. You can cancel your salary deduction at any time. Reserved mobility parking bays are marked "Reserved Permit Number x". These bays are not available to other permit holders. 

Your Mobility parking permit must only be displayed when the permit holder is in the vehicle. Make sure you always display your parking permit to avoid being fined. Fines apply for parking in Mobility parking spaces which infringe the conditions of use.
