Transport & Parking

The University has selected Orikan as the new parking management system provider. Please continue to pay and park as per the current signage, until it is replaced in December. Pay and display machines on campus have been replaced with PayStay virtual meters.

The ANU Acton campus caters to student, staff and visitor transport and parking. Our goals are to support our community in getting to and around campus safely, and to facilitate doing this in a way that reduces environmental impacts. Active and shared transport reduces the number of vehicles travelling to campus and promotes health and wellbeing for our community and the environment.

Parking spaces on campus are limited, and we recommend that you consider other options, such as catching a bus or tram, carpooling, cycling or walking to campus. Choosing these more sustainable forms of transport can improve health and wellbeing, reduce our carbon footprint and save money and time.

Visit the ANU Environmental Sustainability website for tips on incorporating sustainable transport into your daily routine.

Parking restrictions apply on campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week unless stated otherwise. ePermit, PayStay, and time limited zones are in force from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday, public holidays excepted.

The Parking Office reception counter is in the Fulton Muir Building and is open from 9:30 AM – 12 PM, and open between 2 PM – 4 PM Monday to Friday.

ANU-Civic Loop bus service

The ANU-Civic Loop Bus is a free service designed to improve community access to and around campus. This service will run for six months, assessing ANU community demand and trialling a shuttle linking ANU Acton campus with Civic transport interchanges. This service is ideal for commuting to campus via bus or light rail, getting to appointments in Civic and everyday city trips for residential students.
