Next year, parking on campus will be under pressure due to several major construction projects, including the Australian Hockey Centre development. Spaces will be limited, so we strongly encourage you to plan ahead to avoid being caught by surprise.
If you can, please think about using other options to get to campus including:
- curtinlink: Launching Monday, 9 February, curtinlink is our new free on-demand mini-bus service, offering greater flexibility to anyone travelling to campus from within 5km. More information about curtinlink will be available in the new year.
- Public transport: Transperth buses run from Canning Bridge to Curtin University every 5 minutes.
- Cycling: Park your bike securely with one of our seven bike hubs and end-of-trip facilities on campus.
- Carpool or drop off: Sharing the trip reduces your costs and emissions, while easing pressure on parking for those who need it.
If you still plan to drive to campus, the following changes will be in place for Semester 1, 2026:
- 80 Blue (visitor) bays on the PE2 level of the multideck will be converted to Yellow (student and staff) bays in time for Semester 1.
- 19 Yellow (student and staff) bays in PJ1 will be converted to White (staff only) bays in time for Semester 1.
- PC4 and PH3 will become trial ‘Equipark’ bays – These bays will open from 9:45am to support those whose arrangements or obligations mean they arrive to campus later in the morning.
- Free parking during Study Week of each semester – Parking will be free during Study Week in Semester 1 (25 – 29 May) and Semester 2 (26 – 30 October).
- Temporary Parking 1 and 2 will remain open at the north-western end of campus.
- Edinburgh Oval South overflow parking will be available from Week 2 (after graduations finish) and will remain open for the first few weeks of semester.
We will continue to provide you as much early notice about parking availability as possible, but changes to construction programmes may mean some adjustments will need to be made at short notice. We will do our best to try and minimise these wherever possible and address issues as soon as we can.
Thank you to everyone who plans ahead, shares rides or uses public transport – your efforts make a real difference. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and help during these very busy times.
We will continue to provide updates as they become available.
