Rules

The University accepts no responsibility for any damage caused to vehicles while travelling, standing or parked in the University grounds, or the theft of any vehicle, motorbike or cycle, nor for any damage to or loss of accessories or contents.

The University operates a Restricted Parking Area Scheme.

Periodical entry permits are available on personal application to the Cashier's office in the Student Centre or by written application addressed to the Director, Financial Services.

Casual or short term entry permits are available from ticket dispensing machines near the two main entrances and other identified car parks within the campus.

Periodical entry permits are issued upon presentation of student/staff I.D. number or, in the case of persons directly affiliated with the University, the approval of the Director, Office of Facilities Management or the Deputy Vice- Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer. Periodical entry permits are not available to persons not directly affiliated with the University.

Parking areas are provided at various locations within the University.

Vehicles may ONLY be parked in car parks and within marked bays. It is stressed that non-commercial vehicles may not park adjacent to buildings. Kerb parking is not permitted on any University road or in access lanes in car parks, except where marked.

The Macquarie University Traffic and Parking Rules and the Macquarie University By-laws make provision for the imposition of fines or other action to deal with breaches of the Traffic and Parking Rules.

The NSW State Debt Recovery Office operates the Self Enforcing Infringement Notice Scheme (SEINS) and is the University's agent for the collection of fines.

Repeated breaches of the Traffic and Parking Rules by staff or students will result in the withdrawal of entry permits and/or non renewal of permits.

Preamble

1. The University grounds are private property and the University Council has the right to regulate the entry of vehicles and their operation within the grounds.

2. Periodical entry permits are issued to a person(s). In circumstances where no permit is displayed on vehicle(s) the person(s) in charge of the vehicle will be responsible for any breach of the Traffic and Parking Rules.

3. Any vehicle brought into the University grounds is required to be driven, parked and managed in compliance with the University Traffic and Parking Rules and signs, and in observance of the directions of authorised persons.

4. For the purpose of these rules, "authorised persons" include all University security services officers and their Supervisors.

5. All persons, pedestrians or drivers, are responsible for conducting themselves in a safe manner whilst within the University grounds in accordance with the 'Occupational Health and Safety Act'.

Parking

1. Parking and standing is prohibited at all times on all roads and in access lanes within car parks on University owned land except to the extent specifically authorised by notice, by marking or by an authorised person. This prohibition applies irrespective of whether a notice is displayed. The prohibition against parking and standing means that a vehicle may be stationary only for the minimum time necessary to set down and pick up passengers.

2. At all times parking is permitted only in established car parks and not on University roads or elsewhere within the University grounds except that:

3. Vehicles are to be parked or placed wholly within the parking areas denoted by painted lines or other marking, and are not to be parked or placed so as to obstruct the free and safe passage of vehicles in the access lanes in car parks.
