Speed

The university campus precincts are pedestrian areas with vehicle access restricted to a maximum speed of 15 kilometres per hour (15 kph).

Illegal parking

If you are a staff member and wish to apply for a permit, email carparking@vuw.ac.nz for more information. Students who wish to apply for a permit can should contact VUWSA.

Any vehicle found parked illegally without a current and valid permit on reserved spaces, yellow lines, disability spaces, on the grass, in designated service areas, blocking fire egresses or on non-marked spaces is liable to be ticketed.

Parking across entranceways within the university precincts is prohibited. Doorways and/or emergency exits must never be obstructed by any vehicle, including cars, bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles.

Penalties for illegal parking

Any vehicle illegally parked on campus and not registered as an e-permit holder is liable to be ticketed at $85.

Reserved spaces

Park at your own risk

The University takes no responsibility for any vehicles, bikes, scooters, or motorcycles parked on university-controlled property, whether or not vehicles are parked in designated parking areas.
