Accessible parking permits
A vehicle may only park in an accessible bay with an ACROD sticker or UWA accessible parking permit. A short-term permit for use in accessible bays may be issued in the case of illness or injury, on presentation of an authorisation letter:
- In the case of staff, the University Safety and Health Senior Occupational Therapist must approve staff applications.
- In the case of students, the University Disabilities Officer must approve all applications for a short term disabled Parking Authority Permit.
There are accessible bays in car parks 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 30, 31, 33, 34, 37, 39, 40 and 41.
If there are no vacant accessible bays, accessible parking permit holders may park in any vacant red (staff), or yellow (student), parking permit area.
Accessible parking permit holders who park in long or short-term pay and display areas must purchase and display a ticket from the vending machine. You are permitted to park for twice the period shown on the ticket.
UWA accessible parking permits are not valid for use in accessible bays located outside University grounds.
Official business permits
Visiting lecturers and guests
Official business permits for visiting lecturers and guests are available from faculty, school or sub-unit administration staff.
Students, Staff (including Casual Staff, Temporary Staff and Employment Agency Staff), Contractors, Examiners and Invigilators are NOT eligible for Official Business Permits.
They should be issued in advance (by mail) to visiting lecturers and guests, and are valid for one day only.
So that visiting lecturers or guests of the University do not receive a parking infringement, it is the responsibility of the faculty, school or sub-unit to inform them of the parking regulations and where to park their vehicles.
The faculty, school or sub-unit may obtain official business permits in batches (10 permits) from UniPark.
The cost of an official business permit is $32.00 (per batch of 10 permits).
The official business permit must be displayed on the dash of vehicle so that the details can be seen from the outside of the vehicle. An infringement will be issued if the permit is out of date or has been altered.
A record sheet is provided by UniPark to Faculties, Schools or Sub Units to record the details of official business permits which have been issued. The Faculty, School or Sub Unit is accountable for all permits.
Parking space on campus is limited and the possession of an official business permit does not guarantee that a bay will be available - it only entitles the holder to search for a vacant red staff or pay and display parking bay.
An official business permit may not be used in yellow student, service, disabled, reserved or carpooling bays.
Reserved bay permits
A reserved bay entitles the specified vehicle to park in a specified bay.
A reserved bay may be allocated to a department or business on campus when there is a demonstrated need.
Written applications are to be forwarded to the UniPark manager for consideration.
New staff parking permits
If your appointment is ongoing or fixed term, your Head of Department or Administrative Secretary can issue you with a complimentary new staff parking permit, which is valid for five consecutive days only.
Please ensure that all the details are completed in ink and the permit is displayed on the dash of your vehicle so all the details are visible.
The new staff parking permit entitles you to park in red permit areas only - it does not entitle you to park in pay and display parking areas, yellow student areas, service, disabled or reserved bays.
