Parking

Parking at ECU is divided into clearly identified zones for staff, students and visitors, outlined on our campus maps.

ECU Parking Terms and Conditions

Parking permits

Parking permits are required to park in all ECU parking zones between business hours (7.00am - 5.00pm weekdays).

Purchasing a permit does NOT guarantee you a parking space on the Campus.

ECU takes no responsibility for damage or theft from your vehicle while parking in ECU car parks.

With the exception of ACROD areas, no permits are required for parking after hours, with staff and students encouraged to park as close as possible to buildings to aid personal safety whilst on campus.

ACROD parking bays

ACROD permit holders are not required to pay for parking at ECU when they park in an ACROD bay (so do not need an ECU permit). If ACROD parking is full, ACROD holders are advised to pay and park in the visitor parking area.

Athena SWAN parent parking bays

ECU has 91 dedicated Athena SWAN parking bays for staff and students with parenting drop-off responsibilities and/or carer responsibilities. Bays are clearly marked in purple with signage that shows the ECU and Athena SWAN member logo.

Contractors are required to attend the Campus Support Office each day to scan the relevant QR code for either free or discounted parking.  Any misuse of this parking QR codes will result in the Contractor no longer being eligible for free or discounted parking.
