Between 9:00am and 5:00pm (6:00am to 6:00pm in Car Park 12 and 21) you must display a valid Flinders University permit or park in a metered bay.

A valid Flinders University permit must be displayed 24hrs a day 7 days a week in Disabled parks.

Both Parking Inspectors and Security Officers regularly patrol the University campus and Mark Oliphant Building (M.O.B) and issue Infringement Notices to vehicles found to be in breach of University’s By-Laws. The notices are usually placed around the windscreen wiper of the vehicle. The Infringement Notice is produced using a hand-held, ticket-issuing device or hand written notice. Do not park in No Standing or No Parking areas (avoid yellow hatched areas, or yellow lines), on verges, or in parking areas for which you don't have a valid permit. Parking areas are marked on the university map.

People who have a short-term disability can apply for a non-renewable three-month university permit through the Health Service. Written evidence from a treating medical professional is required. These permits are only valid when displayed with an annual, semester or day ticket. Disabled bays are monitored 24 hours a day and must display a valid permit at all times.

VIP (Blue) Permits

Most visitors should park in metered bays or use day permits in general parking areas. However, Special Permits allowing VIP visitors to park in blue zones may be purchased by cost centers for a small fee. Manual Journals are available off the University’s web site.

These permits are intended for use by such visitors as external members of senior committees. They should not be issued to consultants, sales or service representatives, casual staff or people attending interviews or on work experience placements.

Permits are valid for one day only and must be scratched to expose the valid date. Permits must be displayed on the passenger side dash so that they are clearly visible from outside the vehicle.

Pregnant Staff Special Permit

A short-term special parking permit is available to pregnant staff from 30 weeks gestation onwards by visiting the Practice Nurse at Health and Counselling. If there is a problem prior to 30 weeks that necessitates a special parking permit, written evidence from a treating medical professional is required. These permits are only valid when displayed with an annual, semester permit or day ticket, but can be used in disabled parking bays.

If you are a staff member breastfeeding a child in the Child Care Centre, a special parking permit may be available through application to the Equal Opportunity Unit.

Appeals

If you wish to dispute an offence informally, then you will need to fill in an Expiation Appeal Form explaining any extenuating circumstances involved in the commission of the offence. These circumstances will then be taken into account before a notice is issued stating either that no further action will be taken or that the offence can be expiated by payment within 14 days of the date of the notice. Please see  Unsucessful Requests to Waive Infringement Notices (PDF 37KB) for some examples of explanations that will NOT be successful in disputing a fine.

Appeals against the issue of an Infringement Notice must be in writing, please fill out the Expiation Appeal Form

The Infringement number, registration number and your postal address must be quoted, and your appeal should explain clearly but briefly why you believe the notice could be withdrawn, and should conclude with a request to that effect. Once a decision regarding the Appeal has been reached, a letter advising the outcome will be sent to the appellant. In the meantime, no further action will be taken.
