Staff parking permits

Staff can salary package University parking permits and purchase annual permits through the parking office. Full details are available on the Facilities Department intranet site. You can have the fee automatically deducted from your fortnightly pay. Staff can park in E Permit or P Meter areas.

If you have a VU one-day scratchy permit, these may be used in either E Permit or P Meter areas.

Re-applying for permits

Staff who wish to have an E Permit or Reserved Permit, including current permit holders, will need to reapply for a parking permit. This is due to the time that has passed since permits were active and to accommodate the development of new processes.
