Pay As You Go (PAYG) parking from January 2023

From January 2023, the University is introducing a Pay As You Go (PAYG) parking system across the Camperdown/Darlington and Mallet Street campuses for both staff, students and service contractors. From this date parking at a reduced tariff (maximum of $5 per day) will need to be paid for through the CellOPark app.

The PAYG system will better support the flexible work and study practices of our staff and students by only requiring staff and students to pay for parking for the days and times they park on campus, instead of on an annualised basis.

Motorcycle parking on campus is free. It can also be purchased ($0) for casual parking session via the parking meter machines or CelloPark app to park on University grounds.

There will be no change to designated disabled parking bays on campus.

There are several designated motorcycle parking areas on the Camperdown/Darlington Campus.

Registering these vehicles will support better management of traffic incidents on campus and help the University measure the impact of our Sustainability Strategy, which aims to reduce passenger vehicles on campus by 2025.

If you park in a non-designated motorcycle parking bay, you must pay the relevant fee or hold an appropriate permit. (motorcycle couriers are exempt from this rule).

Mobility parking permits

If you hold a valid RTA Mobility Parking Permit, you can use the designated disabled parking bays on campus.

You can also park for free in any numbered parking bay, other than those marked with restrictions such as ‘University Owned Vehicles Only’ or ‘Loading Zone’.
