Where can I park on campus?

Campus map

Flinders University has car parks available throughout our Bedford Park campus for students, staff and visitors. 

You must pay for parking when parked on Bedford Park campus from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Parking is free on nationally recognised public holidays, and on weekends. Please park in a general marked parking bay (white) at all times. Reserved, access (disability), loading zones, business blue bays and signed 'at all times' parking areas are monitored 24/7 and are not for general use.

Parking is also available for students and staff at our Tonsley campus, which requires a vPermit. Purchase a vPermit here. Alternatively, you can access our Tonsley campus by parking at Bedford Park and catching the free Tonsley Link bus.

Licence plate recognition and data collection technology is used on campus, removing the need to display physical permits and tickets.

By parking on campus, you agree to the terms and conditions below.

 

Options for parking

If you have a vPermit you do not need to purchase casual parking unless you wish to park in car parks 6 or 13 (two-hour maximum parks only).

You can choose between the following options to suit your individual circumstances:

  • A vPermit for students, staff and affiliates, OR
  • A valid casual parking session running through the CellOPark app for staff, students and visitors, OR
  • A valid casual parking session running through the visitor parking machines for visitors and charged at visitor rates.

Important note: Whether you have a vPermit or you’re using CellOPark, at all times please ensure you have a valid parking session by making sure the licence plate of the car you have on campus matches the active/live car in the parking system.

If you have a vPermit, you do not need to purchase casual parking unless you wish to park in car parks 6 or 13 (two-hour maximum parks only).

Parking Support Payment

Casual parking (CellOPark) keyboard_arrow_up

There are two options for short term parking on campus:

  1. Use CellOPark for hourly parking.
  2. Use the visitor parking machines in car parks 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, and University Drive at the entrance on the eastern side of the road adjacent to Sturt Oval at visitor rates only.

Please note: if you move your car to a different park within the same zone, there's no need to stop your parking session and restart it. If you do, it may impact what you have to pay (particularly the capped maximum rates for students and staff), as it will reset when stopped.

If you move car parks from one zone to a different zone you must stop your parking session and start another session in the new zone.

CellOPark

CellOPark enables you to use your mobile phone (or any internet connected device) to start and stop a parking session, via an app on your mobile phone. You can also use CellOPark through a PC or any internet connected device through the CellOPark website or by calling CellOPark on 1300 467 275 (1300 GO PARK).

You can add up to three cars in CellOPark. To ensure you have a valid parking session, make sure the licence plate of the car you have on campus matches the active car in the CellOPark system at all times.

CellOPark parking zones and parking mobility

A parking zone is linked to where you are parked on campus and affects who can park (eg students, staff or visitors), time limits (eg 2-hour only) and in some instances how much you pay. It’s important you enter the right zone when starting and stopping your parking session. Entering the wrong zone could result in you being charged incorrectly or may result in a fine. Use the Bedford Park campus map to locate and select your car park.

There are three Flinders University parking zones:

  • General parking (staff and students) zone 1500100 - all car parks except 6, 13, 17, 19
  • General parking (visitors) zone 1500101 - all car parks except 1, 12, 17, 19
  • Two-hour maximum parking areas zone 1500500 - car parks 6, 13 two-hour only or designated two-hour bays in 4, 15.

CellOPark also caters for parking mobility. You can move your car on campus between the same zones (eg general to general, two-hour to two-hour zones).

(a)  If you select this payment method you will pay the total amount for your permit in monthly instalments, in the amount as advised when you signed up, starting from the day you signed up.  You will automatically be charged an instalment amount once a month on the same date that you signed up (Billing Date) until you or the last Billing Date in December of the current year. The instalment amount payable on the last Billing Date in December will be a pro-rata amount, depending on the Billing Date.

(b)  If your Billing Date is scheduled for a day that does not occur every month (for example, the 31st), you will be billed on the first day of the next instead. 

11.2  Expiry

(a)  If your monthly payment is unsuccessful for any reason (including insufficient funds or expiry), we will notify you and will attempt to process the payment again 3 business days after your Billing Date. If the payment is still unsuccessful, your permit will automatically be cancelled with immediate effect.  

(b)  Your vPermit will automatically expire on the 31st of December of the current year, if not cancelled before.  

11.3 Payment Details

You can update your payment details at any time under My Permits in the vPermit icon on your Okta dashboard. If you update your payment details, you authorise us to continue deducting monthly payments using the new payment details until the expiry of your vPermit.

12. No guarantee of parking availability: You acknowledge and agree that having a valid permit or ticket does not guarantee parking in the Car Park.

13. Assignment: Permits and tickets are not transferrable, and you must not attempt to transfer, assign or otherwise re-sell any permit or ticket.

14. No obstructions: You must park only in a designated parking bay for which your permit or ticket is valid and not cause any obstructions in or to the Car Park, including by parking across more than one parking bay or otherwise impeding the use of adjacent parking bays.

15. Access Bays: You must not park in an access bay in any Car Park without clearly displaying a current Australian Disability Parking Permit in accordance with the permit's conditions.

16. Signs: You must comply with all signs (including by not parking in areas marked as 'Reserved' or 'No Parking'), and all lawful directions issued verbally or in writing to you by us, relating to the Car Park.

19.1 collecting, storing, using, and managing personal information about you (including your Vehicle number plate) to the extent reasonably necessary for operational, security and safety reasons; and

21.1 issue you with an expiation fee in an amount set by us in accordance with our By-laws under the Flinders University Act 1966 (SA);

21.2 affix the notice of the expiation fee to your Vehicle, and this will be sufficient notice to you of the expiation fee.

22. Costs: Flinders University reserves the right to vary parking pricing from time to time. If you fail to pay an expiation fee issued in accordance with these terms within 28 days, or any other monies payable under these Terms within a reasonable period, you will be liable for a reasonable administration fee and such further reasonable costs (including legal costs) as are incurred by us in recovering all monies payable by you in connection with your use of the Car Park.

23. Operational rights: We may enter, move or tow away your Vehicle for operational, security or safety reasons. We are not liable to you for any damage caused, provided we use reasonable care at all times.

24. Abandoned Vehicles: We may remove from the Car Park or the Flinders University campus any Vehicles that we reasonably believe to have been abandoned, and we may destroy or dispose of those Vehicles (including sale by auction) at the cost of the owner. We will refund any sale proceeds to the owner, less all monies owed to us by the owner.

25. Interpretation: In these Terms: 'including' is not a word of limitation; a reference to something includes each part of it; headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation; any illegal or unenforceable terms may be severed without affecting the validity of the remainder of the Terms; if a word is defined, another part of speech has a corresponding meaning.
