Parking policy
The purpose of the Western Sydney University Parking and Traffic Policy is to assist the effective management of parking and traffic on all campuses. The policy also informs staff, students, visitors and tenants of the University of their responsibilities when they are on a campus.
In summary, all vehicles parked on Western Sydney University campuses must purchase and display a valid permit. Breaches of the Western Sydney University Parking and Traffic Policy may result in penalties.
Parking is only permitted in established bays, unless otherwise advised by an authorised person. There are several types of parking bays which can be identified by line markings and signage. The bays available and eligible permit types are listed below.
Please note that the Western Sydney University Parking and Traffic Policy applies 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
