Parking and Permits

Contractors are able to park on all our campuses in accordance with the Monash University parking rules.

With a contractor parking permit you can park in Blue parking areas all day or Yellow parking areas for a maximum of 2 hours at a time at the Caulfield, Clayton or Peninsula campuses.

There are two ways to pay for your parking, either pay-by-app or by purchasing an annual permit.

Parking Option	Price ($AUD)
Pay as you use - Clayton/Caulfield/Peninsula	$2.05/hour, $10.25/day
Annual - 2026 - Blue only	$644.80/year
Annual - 2026 - Blue + Yellow 2hr	$2215.20/year

Annual permits will be charged a pro-rata amount depending on when the permit is purchased during the current year.

If you are required to park on any of our campuses you can use the OPark app to pay for your parking.
Make sure to select the correct zone code for where you are parked:
- Permit areas: Select the Contractor zone code (3800506) to park in Blue parking areas (all day) or Yellow parking areas for a maximum of two hours at a time.
- Meter areas: Select the zone code displayed at the campus where you are parked. Meter parking areas can be used by anyone visiting Monash.
The contractor zone code cannot be used at Parkville campus. Please park in the meter parking areas at Parkville campus and use the zone code displayed in the car park.
Authorised contractors can apply to purchase an annual contractor parking permit to park at Clayton, Caulfield, Peninsula and Parkville campuses.
These permits are for inducted contractors who work on our campuses and subject to approval by Buildings and Property.
All permits are virtual, meaning that your registration number is recorded online and you do not need to display a permit or ticket on your dashboard.
Annual permits run on semester dates commencing the first day of semester one.
Permits can only be purchased from the vPermit portal. You will need to register an account, login and follow the steps to purchase your permit:
1. Select the campus on which you are parking.
2. Select the permit you intend to purchase in the drop down menu (i.e contractor permit).
3. Select your payment method.
4. Record the registration number/s of the vehicle/s you use to drive to campus.
Read the guide to learn more about how to purchase a parking permit using the vPermit system.
To register an account in the vPermit system, you can either use your company email account or personal email account.
If you are purchasing a large number of permits for your staff, or have multiple staff accessing different campuses, please contact Buildings and Property Division at buildings.property@monash.edu who will facilitate bulk purchasing of parking permits.

Parking rules

The use of a parking permit on Monash University campuses is subject to the State traffic and parking laws, including the Road Safety Act and Road Rules (Victoria) and Monash University Parking Rules. Please read the rules prior to purchasing a permit.

Campus access

All of our campuses are restricted to pedestrians only within internal building and pathway areas.

For contractors that require access to buildings for work purposes, please email Security at security.access@monash.edu to arrange access to restricted areas.

Close access to buildings on campus

The Clayton campus is a pedestrianised environment. Vehicle access to the centre of campus is restricted to ensure pedestrian safety. Access to the centre of campus is managed by Monash Security, via a series of bollard locations.

Contractors should only require approval past bollard access points for essential work purposes, requiring close access to an area. If the work purposes are not essential, contractors will be required to park in the loading bays identified on the map below. Alternatively, contractors can park in yellow parking bays for two hours, or blue parking spaces all day.

If you need to enter the centre of campus to complete work, your Monash representative will need to request approval with Monash Security, prior to your time of arrival.

If access is approved for unloading equipment, it is expected the vehicle used will park to drop off the equipment, then return through the bollard access point once this task is completed. Contractors will not be permitted to park their vehicles in internal campus areas all day.
