There are dedicated mobility car parks across the Dunedin campus for students.

These parks, marked in blue, are available for University of Otago mobility parking permit holders only, and are administered by the Disability Information and Support Office.

Accessing the campus
Mobility Parking

Mobility parks are predominately for student use; however, Disability Information and Support operate a campus hopping scheme where staff members can temporarily use the parks where they have a meeting or lecture to attend in another area on campus. A permit must be displayed in these parks, and staff must not use parks full-term. 

Staff with permanent mobility impairments can lease a University car park at the normal rate and can apply for leased parking.

Generally, priority will be given over others on the waiting list if an applicant can provide documentation from a relevant professional supporting the need for parking, and if the applicant meets the following requirements:

  • Unable to walk and rely on a wheelchair for mobility, or
  • Rely on mobility devices (e.g. crutches, walking sticks, walking frames), or
  • Unable to walk more than 200 metres unassisted because of the nature or severity of the impairment

Staff with temporary mobility impairments are welcome to contact Parking to see if they can help:
