Who can apply for a residence staff car parking permit

Only staff with a valid car parking permit are eligible to park in the residence car parks. Permit holders are restricted to the use of their designated car park unless advised otherwise.

Staff who do not have a valid staff car parking permit are not permitted to park at the select residences without purchasing a Visitor Voucher either through the online permit system or the dial-to-park system located in each car park. 

Any staff vehicles parked without a valid permits or visitor voucher may be subject to a Parking Charge Notice (PCN). Staff who persistently offend may find themselves subject to action under the Disciplinary Policy and Procedure.
