The University utilises a paid parking scheme at St Lucia, which includes various parking zones and multi-level car parks for staff, students and visitors. Paid parking applies from 7.00am to 9.00pm Monday to Friday throughout the year (Public Holidays excepted).
It is highly recommended that participants travelling by car use either of the multi-storey carparks located on Sir Fred Schonell Drive (See http://www.uq.edu.au/maps/ click on St Lucia), as this provides covered and secure parking, and requires only a short walk to Building #22 (Schonell Theatre) and the Heath/Holt Rooms (Student Union). Minimum charge of $5 per day.Maps
