Student Housing Parking

Vehicles must display a Red student permit and a student housing permit.

5.  Parking Refunds

Permit holders ceasing with the University shall be entitled to a refund of the parking fee paid based on the HECS policy. Applications for refunds must be supported by documentary evidence.

6.  Penalties

6.1
The University is authorised to impose penalties in respect of breaches of By-Laws. The maximum penalty is $250 but offenders are initially given the opportunity to pay a modified penalty of $25 or $60 depending on the nature of the infringement. The University engages the services of the Fines Enforcement Registry to collect penalties in default and is authorised to charge additional fees for administration and legal costs.

Appeals against infringements must be forwarded to the Parking Administrator within fourteen days from the date of the infringement. Verbal appeals cannot be accepted. Appellants may ultimately elect to have their case heard by a Magistrate rather than processed by Fines Enforcement Registry.

Appeals may be lodged as follows:

(a) Online here.
(b) Via Email to parking@ecu.edu.au
(c) Hand Written on the appeal form available at Student Central on your campus.
