Accessibility and parking for staff

The University works to ensure that all of our campuses are accessible for people with impairments. If you have access concerns or challenges please feel free to contact a member of the Staff Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion team at staffdei@auckland.ac.nz

Accessible parking

Parking is very limited on all of the University of Auckland's campuses, and particularly in the central city. There are a small number of accessible /mobility car parks available for students and staff who already have a Mobility Parking Permit from CCS Disability Action.

Staff who have permanent disabilities can contact carparking@auckland.ac.nz.

Staff with temporary mobility impairments, who require assistance with accessing University accessible car parking should follow the process below.

Note: If it is anticipated that accessible parking will be required for  longer than eight weeks, the staff member should apply to CCS Disability Action for a Mobility Permit and  carparking@auckland.ac.nz  for campus parking for one year. 

Process for obtaining a temporary permit for situations of less than eight weeks.

Staff who currently hold a University parking permit

If you currently have a parking permit,  but require temporary mobility parking either at the same car park or one closer to your place of work, email the following to temporarypark@auckland.ac.nz at least 5 business working days prior to the date required:

If the application is approved:

Staff who do not hold a University parking permit

Staff who currently don’t have a parking permit, follow the same process above but are required to pay in advance for the duration if approved.
