Disabled and Temporary Mobility Parking

Disabled Parking

Disabled Parking Sign

There are Eighty One (81) RTA Disable Bays on campus. Nineteen (19) of these bays are located in the Residential Precinct of the campus and Sixty Four (64) bays in the Academic Precinct.

Maps showing the location of our Disabled bays are below:

To be eligible to park in a Disable Bay the vehicle must display a valid RMS (Roads & Maritime Services) Mobility permit.

The RMS Mobility Parking Scheme permit entitles you to park in spaces marked with a symbol for people with disabilities. The permit also provides parking concessions in other spaces.

  • When parking in a Purple or Blue permit parking area there is no charge.
  • Where parking is signposted in excess of 30 minutes, the vehicle can park for an unlimited time.
  • Where parking is signposted as 30 minutes, the vehicle can park for 2 hours.
  • Where parking is signposted as 15 minutes or less, the vehicle can park for a maximum of 30 Minutes.

    Note - RMS Mobility permit holders are not permitted to park in Red bays with this type of permit.

Legislation specifies the eligibility criteria for a person to obtain a Mobility Parking Scheme permit. To be eligible, a person must be some one:

  • Who is unable to walk due to the permanent or temporary loss of use of one or both legs or other permanent medical or physical condition; or
  • Whose physical condition is detrimentally affected as a result of walking 100 metres; or
  • Who requires the use of crutches, a walking frame, callipers, scooter, wheelchair or other similar mobility aid.

Please note that a Mobility Parking Scheme permit does not allow vehicles to stand or be parked between "No Stopping" signs or on Taxi stands, bus or in loading zones. Vehicles that display the RMS Mobility Parking must park in a designated parking bay in accordance with the UNE Parking Policy & Parking Procedures.

Temporary Mobility Parking

The University is able to assist staff and students who have sustained a temporary injury or illness by issuing a Temporary Mobility Permit to those who otherwise may not be eligible for assistance under the RMS Mobility Parking Scheme.

Staff and students who are registered Parking Permit holders are eligible to apply for a Temporary Mobility Permit by contacting Parking Administration (6773 3485 or parking@une.edu.au) in the Safety, Security & Information office located in:

  • Union Building C018 - adjacent to the central courtyard in the Academic Precinct

Holders of a UNE Temporary Mobility Permit are permitted to park in Blue & Green Permit bays as well as Loading Bays for extended periods to that signposted only. A UNE Temporary Mobility Permit does not allow parking in RMS Disabled Bays.
