Parking & Traffic On Campus

Parking and traffic on Deakin University Campuses are governed by Regulation 14.1(3) - Control of Traffic and Parking. View the Deakin University Parking Regulations

Parking

You must park your vehicle in a defined car parking bay, within an officially designated parking area. Signs posted at the entrance to each car park clearly define who may park there. Fines may be imposed on vehicles parked outside marked bays, for example, against kerbs or on grassed areas.

Zones

Carparks are divided into zones, for which different permits apply.  If you have a:

• Zone 1 (purple) permit – you may only hunt for a space in purple zones adjacent to your residence or red zones on any campus.
• Zone 2 (yellow) permit – you may hunt for a space in yellow, blue or red zones only.
• Zone 3 (green) permit – central pool vehicles only and may hunt for a space in green, yellow, blue or red zones.
• Zone 4 (blue) permit – you may hunt for a space in blue or red zones only.
• Zone 5 (red) permit – you may hunt for a space in red zones only.
• Zone 6 (orange) permit – you have a reserved space, but may hunt for a space in blue or red zones.
• Zone 7 (white) – hourly ticket holders - you may only park in a white space

Parking Permit Applications

All vehicles parking on Deakin University Campuses between 8.30am and 4.30pm Monday to Friday require a current parking permit, with the exception of a limited number of free parking spaces at the Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds and the Warrnambool Campus.
Permits should be placed on the left-hand side of the windscreen. They must be visible at all times and not obscured by window tinting, sunshades or sunvisors.
The following permits are available:

• Hour permits (Melbourne Campus at Burwood only)
• Day permits (available from ticket vending machines at Burwood and Waterfront campuses for $4.70 and Waurn Ponds and Warrnambool campuses for $3.70)
• Monthly permits (via Cashier Office) cost of annual permit (zone 4 blue or zone 5 red) divided by 12 plus a 10% surcharge.
• Semester permits (via Cashier Office)
• Annual permits (via Cashier Office)

Motorcycles do not need a permit.  They should only be parked in motorcycle bays or in blue or red vehicle bays
Any vehicle parked in a disabled / accessible parking space within a permit zone must display a category 1 disabled parking permit or a Deakin University disabled parking permit, and a parking permit valid for the zone in which the vehicle is parked.
Off campus students can purchase blue or red parking permits at half the annual or semester fee from the Cashier Office on their Campus.

Refunds

If you discontinue studies or employment during the year of issue of the permit no refund is available. You are permitted to sell your permit to another staff member or student. Orange permits may only be on-sold with prior approval of FMSD.  If an Orange permit is on-sold without Facilities Management approval, there is no guarantee that the purchaser will receive a reserved space the following year.

Parking Infringements

If you receive a parking infringement you have two options:

• Pay the penalty of the infringement within 28 days of the date of the Parking Infringement. For direct credit card payments please telephone (03) 9224 0347. For mail payments the address is Deakin University (Payments), GPO Box 4683, Melbourne Vic 3001.
• Write a letter explaining why you should not have received the fine. The letter should contain the Parking Infringement Number and also your return address. The letter should be addressed to: Deakin University (Contesting), GPO Box 4683, Melbourne Vic 3001.

Either option must be done within 28 days of receiving the Parking Infringement. If there is no payment or correspondence from you within the 28 days, you will be sent a reminder notice and incur a late payment fee.

Visitors

Faculties and Divisions are issued with a quota of daily permits free of charge for 'official visitors' at the start of each year. You should see your Faculty or Division to obtain a permit in advance for your visitor. This allows your visitor to park in yellow, blue or red zones or disabled bays (along with a council issued disabled parking permit for accessible bays). Permits must be displayed on the vehicle's dashboard. Additional permits are available if this supply is exhausted, but must be purchased from FMSD at the day permit rate.

Casual day visitors are required to purchase a daily parking permit from ticket machines in carparks or near Campus entrances.

Traffic

All Campuses are governed by the Road Safety Act (1986), as are all Victorian roads. This means that you must obey all road rules, signs and speed limits.

A speed limit of 40 kilometres per hour applies on Deakin Campus roads. Car parks have posted speed limits of 10 or 20 kilometres per hour.

Victoria Police have the right to issue infringement notices for traffic offences on Campus roadways.
