Access to the Transit Car Parks at City East, City West, Magill and Mawson Lakes is automatically activated at the beginning of each year for the Senior Management Group, Directors of Units and General Managers. Academic and general staff may apply for individual access to Transit Parks for the period January to December through FM Assist using the Transit Parking Application Form. Staff may apply for individual access under the following criteria:
Staff MUST have a CURRENT University Parking Permit from their home campus to utilise Transit Parking.
Access on an individual's access card will need to be supported by the Academic Unit, General Manager or the Business Unit Manager for consideration by the Campus Facilities Manager or nominee. If approved, access will be granted for a set period of time and have an expiry date. Staff will need to reapply if further access is required.
Staff ineligible for individual access can still opt to use Pool Vehicles or single-trip access cards available from their local FM Assist Office.
As a general rule, it is expected that staff who are engaged in business development/income generating activities or who attend other campuses for meetings, would not be eligible for individual access but would be expected to utilise these options.
Access either via individual or single trip cards is not a guarantee that a Transit Park will be available. If a staff member is unable to find an available park in the Transit Car Parks on arriving at City East, City West, Magill or Mawson Lakes campuses the onus is on the staff member to find alternative parking in a Public Car Park at the City campuses or in Staff Parking zones at the Magill or Mawson Lakes campuses. Staff should always allow for the need to seek parking outside the University's Transit Parks.
Notwithstanding that there may be a preference for holding meetings at City campuses, staff are encouraged wherever practicable to schedule meetings on suburban campuses where the demand on car parking is not as high.
