Accessible parking
Disabled parking You must apply to your own local council for a parking permit for people with disabilities. There are a number of parking spaces for people with disabilities on the Parkville campus. Please note that disabled parking permits have an annual rate of $1800. Category-one permits If you are a category-one permit holder, you may park in a parking bay reserved for people with disabilities for the time specified on the sign only. You must not park continuously for longer than this time. Category-two permits If you are a category-two permit holder, you may park in any regular parking bay for double the amount of time shown. If the parking is a paid parking area, you are required to pay the initial parking fee. For example, in a four hour ticketed parking area, you may park for eight hours, provided that you have paid for the first four. A category-two permit does not allow you to park in bays designated for people with disabilities. Temporary disability permits The transport and parking office can issue temporary disability permits. To receive a temporary disability permit, you must supply a letter of support from your medical practitioner. A University temporary disability permit does not exempt you from parking fees.
