UWS staff are entitled to purchase Pay and Display one day parking permits, annual and half year parking permits - General Yellow, Communal Blue, Dedicated Red and Dedicated Red with Bollard parking permits.

Note: only the purchase of a Dedicated Red or Dedicated Red with Bollard parking permit guarantees a parking space will be available.

Pay and Display One Day Parking Permits

Pay and Display one day parking permits can be purchased from the Pay and Display machines located in the parking areas of each UWS campus (refer to the campus maps for the exact location of the permit machines). Permit machines accept cash and credit cards. Pay and Display one day parking permits are only valid for the day of purchase. They entitle you to park in a yellow car park bay on any UWS campus. At Parramatta south, Pay and Display one day parking permits are available for $8 and entitle the holder to park in blue parking bays.

Annual/Half Year General Parking Permits

A General Yellow parking permit will entitle you to park in a yellow car park bay on any UWS campus.

Annual/Half Year Communal Blue Parking Permits

A Communal Blue parking permit will entitle you to park in a blue or yellow car park bay on any UWS campus. Blue car park bays are generally located closer to buildings than yellow bays.

Communal Blue parking permits are provided subject to availability. If your application for a Communal Blue parking permit is unsuccessful, you will receive an email containing details of when additional permit/spaces will become available for you to reapply.

Annual Dedicated Red Parking Permits

A Dedicated Red parking permit will entitle you to park in the red car park bay that has been assigned to you or any blue or yellow car park bay on any UWS campus. Some Dedicated Red parking permits have bollards so the permit holder can protect their car park bay.

Dedicated Red and Dedicated Red with Bollard parking bays are provided subject to availability. If your application for a Dedicated Red or Dedicated Red with Bollard space is unsuccessful, your application will be placed on a waitlist.
