Parking on campus

Find out where students can park on or near AUT campuses, and what fees or rules may apply. There is no free car parking for students on any campus. There are mobility spaces for students with a valid mobility parking permit.

AUT encourages the use of sustainable transport options rather than single occupier vehicles wherever possible.

City Campus parking

There is no on-site car parking for students on the City Campus. Don't park at Gate 3 (including in the mobility spaces here) – this is for visitors only.

Mobility parking spaces on the City Campus

There are some mobility parking spaces – these are marked on the City Campus map.

You can pay for mobility spaces outside of WO building by using the UbiPark app.

Motorcycle parking on the City Campus

AUT does not provide parking for students on the City Campus. However, there are multiple motorcycle parking spaces available for students to use in the Wilson Public Carpark at 56 Wakefield Street (WO building). Most of the motorcycle spaces are on level 3 as you enter the carpark, but there are additional motorcycle spaces on other levels (please refer to line marking and signage). This carpark is controlled by barrier arm at entry and exit, but motorcycles are permitted to ride past the barrier arm for free access.

There are also multiple free motorcycle parking spaces along St Paul Street provided by Auckland Transport.
