Parking policy
The purpose of the UWS Parking and Traffic Policy is to assist the effective management of parking and traffic on all UWS campuses. The policy also informs staff, students, visitors and tenants of UWS of their responsibilities when they are on a UWS campus.
In summary, all vehicles parked on UWS campuses must purchase and display a valid permit. Breaches of the UWS Parking and Traffic Policy may result in penalties.
Parking is only permitted in established bays, unless otherwise advised by an authorised person. There are several types of parking bays at UWS which can be identified by line markings and signage. The bays available and eligible permit types are listed below.
Please note that the UWS Parking and Traffic Policy applies 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

UWS Pool Cars
UWS pool vehicles are only eligible to park in the UWS pool car parking bays on their home campus (i.e. a Parramatta pool car can only park in pool car bays on Parramatta campus). At all other campuses a pool vehicle must park in a bay that corresponds with the permit displayed in the vehicle.
