    Frequently asked questions

    Answer

    If you have received a parking infringement at Griffith University, you have three options:

    • Pay the fine by the due date shown on the infringement notice
    • Apply for a waiver if you believe the infringement was issued in error or you have grounds for it to be waived
    • Elect to have the matter heard by a court if you wish to formally contest or dispute the infringement

     

    Contesting or appealing a parking infringement

    If you want to challenge, appeal, dispute, or contest a parking fine, the available options are a waiver application or electing for court. Parking infringements are not subject to the Student Review and Appeals Policy - that process applies only to academic and administrative decisions.

    Answer

    Parking permits are available for all our campuses, except at Brisbane City (South Bank).

    There are many different permit types including general, undercover, and special permits.

    A permit allows you to park on campuses within the zones the permit is valid for.

    We provide a limited number of Annual and Trimester permits each period and are available on a first come, first served basis until the allocation is exhausted. If no more allocation remains look for an alternative permit that is available or refer to the casual parking on campus. 

    You can find more information about parking permits on the Parking permits webpage.

      • South Bank Railway Station is directly behind the Queensland College of Art (QCA) on Grey Street
    • Walk to Brisbane City (South Bank) from the nearby Brisbane CBD. 
      1. cross the river via the Goodwill Bridge (footbridge) or the Victoria Bridge (go past the Performing Arts Centre and follow the Grand Arbour south through to the end of South Bank Parklands).

    Please use the Translink Journey Planner to plan your trip

    There is also the South Bank car park, Secure Park and Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre car park in walking distance of the Conservatorium. These are private car parks that all offer different rates depending on what time of day you enter and how long you stay. Griffith University has no affiliation with these car park operators.

    You can find more information on getting to the Conservatorium, or any of our other campuses, on the Transport webpage.

    Regulatory signage

    Regulatory parking signage provides clear instructions and legal requirements for vehicle parking in designated areas. These signs are essential for maintaining order, ensuring safety, and managing traffic flow. They typically indicate restrictions such as time limits, permit zones, loading areas, and no-parking zones. Compliance with these signs is mandatory, and failure to adhere may result in fines or towing. Understanding and following parking signage helps create a safer and more efficient environment for all road users.
