Parking permit cancellations – including parking station and resident parking

All staff and students are able to cancel their permits by logging into the www.vPermit.com.au/anu system. The option to cancel your permit is an individual choice – many individuals are electing to keep their existing permit.

If you cancel your permit, all staff and students who have residential, parking station or surface permits will be guaranteed the same permit when the University returns 30 June 2020. This guarantee will last for four weeks (28 July 2020). More information with details for how to renew your permit will be emailed closer to the re-opening date. Requests to reinstate your permit after 28 July 2020 cannot be guaranteed.

Payments, refunds and infringements

If you have cancelled your permit, refunds are being processed as a priority – please contact the Parking Office for assistance. Individuals who cancel their permit may also choose to keep their refund balance within the parking system to use for a new permit when the university re-opens.

Infringements are still being processed. Applications for infringement withdrawal, dispute liability and extensions of time to pay are still able to be processed through the applicable e-form or by email to parking@anu.edu.au.

Parking infringement notices are not being issued in permit zones as long as vehicles are parked legally within these zones.

Parking infringements will still apply on a limited basis for: 

  1.  Unsafe parking areas i.e. blocking emergency access routes
  2.  Yellow edge lines
  3.  Disability bays
  4.  No stopping areas
  5.  No parking and time limited
  6.  Non-authorised vehicles in registration specific bladed bays
  7.  Areas that have a designed ‘pay and display’ machine

For further clarity on the above items, individuals can still contact the parking office Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm by:
