Car Parking at the University
There are six car parks on campus with a mixture of permit and public parking.
Each car park has a letter, corresponding to its position on the campus map (see link on the right).
- Charles Street (Car Park A)
- Aquatics / Booth Street East (Car Park B)
- Booth Street West (Car Park D)
- Cecil Street (Car Park E)
- Dilworth Street (Car Park F) Permit holders only until 4pm
- Dover Street (Car Park G) Permit holders only
*PLEASE NOTE*
When special events are on (e.g. Graduation, weekday Open Days), parking is extremely limited.
