The University of Otago offers leased parking options for staff, students, departments and other University users. All parks are allocated via a waiting list.

The car park waiting list does not operate in a numbered system. A position on the waiting list is based on preferences for campus areas and the date of application.

The waiting time for a car park is: 

  • 3-4 year wait in Christchurch campus 
  • 4-5 year wait in East, Central, North and West campus areas 
  • 5-6 year wait in South campus 

Carparks may be tested when offered for factors including:

  • Distance from your place of work 
  • Route
  • Size
  • Tree placement

If the car park offered does not suit your needs, there may be alternative options available.

Leased parking on campus is managed by Property Services.
