As parking is limited, staff are encouraged to consider all other options available to them before applying for campus parking such as:
- Public Transport
- Shuttle Buses
- Commercial Car Parks
- Or a combination of these alternatives
Gardens Point Campus:
- Parking Permits are required in all areas at all times.
- All parking on the Gardens Point campus attracts a fee.
- Pay & Display car park available for short term, once off parking. This car park is a 4P area.
Kelvin Grove Campus:
- Parking Permits are required in all areas at all times.
- All parking on the Kelvin Grove campus attracts a fee.
- Pay & Display car park available for casual parking
In order to apply for a parking permit, staff are required to complete the relevant Parking Application Form. Application forms are available online through QUT Virtual (within the transport portal on the My QUT tab)
When applying for a permit for either the Gardens Point or Kelvin Grove campuses, staff can apply either through the Faculty and Divisional quota or through the general pool. Parking for QUT Council Members, Shift Workers, Pre '86ers (Gardens Point only) and some Departmental Vehicles is granted outside the quota and general pool.
Faculty or Divisional Quota: Staff who wish to apply through the quota allocation will need to submit their application through their Faculty or Division. You should be aware that closing dates for submission are likely to be earlier than that advertised on the application form in order that the Faculty/Division can submit the allocation to the Parking Office by the closing date.
General Pool: After parking has been issued to the quota, Shift Workers, organisations etc, the remaining spaces are issued through the general pool. Applicants are ranked according to need and parking is offered to those applicants who demonstrate the greatest need. Students and staff compete equally for the general pool spaces at Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove Campuses. All applications must reach the Parking Office by the due date. Applications received after the due date will be considered late applications and will greatly reduce your chance of obtaining a car park.
