Griffith University staff and students can apply for parking permits which are valid on all Griffith University campuses (except South Bank campus ad GH1). There are a limited number of parking permits issued each semester, so it is recommended to purchase a permit as early as possible. Parking is limited on all campuses and having a permit does not ensure a parking space. By arrangement, free parking is available at the Queensland Sport and Athletic Centre carpark off Mains Road but you must park in the vicinity of the Bus Stop (for Nathan campus). The walk from the carpark to the Nathan campus is a 15 - 20 minute walk along a formed track.
