Pay and Display One Day Parking Permits

Pay and Display one day parking permits can be purchased from the permit 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 at $8 and entitle the holder to park in blue parking bays.
