Driving 

At UWA, we encourage sustainable transport options such as cycling and public transport instead of driving to campus.

In 2024, the University moved to the EasyPark app-based parking system across all our metro campuses.

  • Paid parking applies Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, with free parking outside these hours
  • The campus speed limit is 25km per hour

Dedicated parking areas on our campuses include: 

  • Yellow: students and visitors
  • Red: staff
  • White: staff reserved
  • Green: exclusively reserved for UWA clinics (Optometry, Sleep and Podiatry), Oral Health Centre, University Club members and Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery visitors. There is no charge for a parking session under 30-minutes (one session per day):

Car Park 4 - University Club Member Parking – Hackett Entrance 1
Car Park 25 – UWA Aquatic Centre and UWA Exercise and Performance Centre Parking – Parkway Entrance 4
Car Park 52 - Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery Parking – Fairway Entrance 1
Car Park 81 – UWA Podiatry Patient Parking – Crawley Avenue entrance
Car Park 100 – Oral Heath Centre Patient Parking – Monash Avenue entrance

  • Pink: 30-minute loading bay
  • Orange: for approved maintenance vehicles only

Download the Crawley campus parking map, or view the MazeMap to find the locations of our car parks.

Ensure compliance with parking rules by matching your parking area with the selected zone on the EasyPark app. Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) technology validates parking sessions.

For detailed parking regulations, refer to The University of Western Australia Lands By-laws.

  • Staff parking

    UWA staff can park in Red (staff) areas or White (staff reserved) using the EasyPark app. For more details, visit Staff Parking.

  • Student parking

    UWA students can park in Yellow (students and visitors) zones using the EasyPark app.
    Note: If you are a College Row resident or a student living in a postcode exemption area (see below), you are ineligible for student parking rates at UWA.


    Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG)

    To park on campus, use EasyPark to pay for the time you park. Simply start and stop your parking session using your mobile phone.

    • Student parking is 50c per hour and capped at a maximum of $2 per session*.
    • Costs will be charged directly to your credit/debit card.

    *Session validity: a session is valid for a full day. For example, if you park for four or more hours in one session in the same car park, the maximum charge is still $2. You can park in yellow (student and visitor) bays for this price.

    Important: your session is valid only if you stay parked in the same car park. If you move your car and park in a different car park, you must end the current session and start a new one for the new location. However, if you leave a car bay and return to a different bay within the same car park, the session remains valid.


     2024 Semester 2 - $90 parking cap

    If you are on campus three or more full days a week, you might benefit from the 2024 Semester 2 - $90 parking cap. Once you reach the $90 cap, parking is free for the rest of the Semester, no matter how often you park.

    Both the PAYG and capped permit options require you to start and stop each parking session using the EasyPark app.

    How to apply for the 2024 Semester 2 - $90 parking cap
    If you frequently park on campus and are eligible, the $90 cap might be the best option for you. Apply for the cap here.
