Parking Permits for 2008

2008 Parking Permits will be available for purchase from the Cashier's office on your campus from Wednesday 19 December 2007.

For staff wishing to use the salary sacrifice method of payment, forms can be accessed on line from the following links:

Waurn Ponds / Waterfront / Warrnambool
Salary sacrifice form for Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds, Geelong Waterfront Campus and Warrnambool Campus

Burwood / Greenwood Park
Salary sacrifice form for Melbourne Campus at Burwood and Greenwood Park

This form will need to be completed and signed prior to purchasing a permit from the cashier.

Please note you are still required to display a current 2007 parking permit while on campus for the remainder of 2007.

ZONE 2 – YELLOW PERMITS (Unassigned University Vehicles)
Faculties and Divisions should ensure that they have arranged yellow permits for all of their unassigned vehicles.  If required, these can be obtained by emailing:  David Briggs (email david.briggs@deakin.edu.au) stating the vehicle registration number and that the vehicle is not used for private use.

ZONE 2 – YELLOW PERMITS (Assigned University Vehicles)
Drivers of assigned University vehicles must obtain their permit from the cashier’s office and pay for their parking permit from private funds.  These permits cannot be purchased using University funds.

ZONE 6 – ORANGE PERMITS (Burwood, Greenwood Park and Waterfront)
Holders of a Zone 6 – Orange Permit will need to purchase their permit prior to 4.00 pm 16 January 2008 to receive the same parking space.  Any permits not purchased by this time will be made available to staff / students on the waiting list.  If you have any questions relating to Zone 6 – Orange Permit, please contact David Briggs (email david.briggs@deakin.edu.au).

From 3 to 16 January 2008 inclusive, we will NOT book vehicles for failure to display a permit however all other areas such as disabled bays, no stopping areas, time limit zones, loading bays, etc will be patrolled and any vehicles found to be illegally parked will incur a parking infringement.

Parking

All vehicles parking on Deakin University campuses between 8.30am and 4.30pm Monday to Friday require a current parking permit, with the exception of a limited number of free parking spaces at the Geelong and Warrnambool campuses.

Permits should be placed on the left-hand side of the windscreen. Please ensure that the permit is visible at all times and is not obscured by window tinting, sunshades or sunvisors.

Permits

The purchase of permits can be in the form of:

• Hour permits (Melbourne Campus at Burwood only)
• Day permits (available from ticket vending machines at Burwood and Waterfront campuses for $4.70 and Waurn Ponds and Warrnambool campuses for $3.70)
• Monthly permits (via Cashier's Office) cost of annual permit (zone 4 blue or zone 5 red) divided by 12 plus a 10% surcharge.
• Semester permits (via Cashier's Office)
• Annual permits (via Cashier's Office)

Car Parks

You can park your vehicle in a defined car parking bay, within an officially designated parking area. Signs posted at the entrance to each car park clearly define who may park there. Fines may be imposed on vehicles parked outside marked bays, for example, against kerbs or on grassed areas.
If you have a:

• Zone 1 (purple) permit – you may hunt for a space in purple or red zones only.
• Zone 2 (yellow) permit – you may hunt for a space in yellow, blue or red zones only.
• Zone 3 (green) permit – central pool vehicles only
• Zone 4 (blue) permit – you may hunt for a space in blue or red zones only.
• Zone 5 (red) permit – you may hunt for a space in red zones only.
• Zone 6 (orange) permit – you have a reserved space, but may hunt for a space in blue or red zones.
• Zone 7 (white) parking bays for hourly ticket holders only

Users of Parking

All campus users require a University parking permit to park on campus. Some conditions apply to different users – these include:

• Motorcycles – no permit is required. You should park in motorcycle bays but can also park in any blue or red vehicle bays
• On campus residents – A zone 1 (purple) permit is required. This permit is for zone 1 parking adjacent to Residences but also allows you to park in zone 5 (red) on any campus
• Vehicles parked in disabled / accessible parking spaces within permit zones must display a category 1 disabled parking permit or a Deakin University disabled parking permit, and a parking permit valid for the zone in which the vehicle is parked.
• Off campus students – blue or red parking permits can be purchased at half the annual or semester fee from the cashiers office on your campus.

Invited Official Visitors

Faculties and Divisions are issued with a quota of daily permits free of charge for ‘official visitors’ at the start of each year. You should see your Faculty or Division to obtain a permit in advance for your visitor. This allows your visitor to park in yellow, blue or red zones or disabled bays (council issued disabled parking permit must also be displayed) and must be displayed on the vehicles dashboard.  Additional permits are available if this supply is exhausted but must be purchased from Facilities Management at the day permit rate.

Car Parks After Sundown

If you have parked your car some distance from your office and need to work after sundown you can move your vehicle to a parking bay (blue or red) closer to the building after 4.30pm. Parking permits are not required after this time.
If you are in need of assistance in a car park, Deakin Security can be contacted on 222 or on 1800 062 579. You should also report any person observed acting suspiciously in a car park to Deakin Security. You can minimize the risk to yourself in the car park by:

• Parking your car in the same areas as your friends and leave and return to your cars together
• When leaving your car always remove the ignition keys, close the windows, and lock the doors and boot
• Do not leave valuables, mobile phones or other easily removed items in view inside your car
• Do not move goods from inside your car to the boot at the same location you are parking – the thief may be watching
• Carry your keys in your hand for quick access to your vehicle
• If you have an escort ask that they stay until your car starts
• Check the surrounding area before proceeding to your car and ensure that nobody is in your car before you get in
• Once inside your vehicle lock all doors and leave windows up until you leave the campus.

Refund for a Permit

If you discontinue studies or employment during the year of issue of the permit no refund is available. You are permitted to sell your permit to another campus user but this should only occur if you have retained the original receipt issued by the Cashier's Office. Orange permits may only be on-sold with prior approval of Facilities Management.  If an orange permit is on-sold without Facilities Management approval, there is no guarantee that the purchaser will receive a reserved space the following year.

Parking Infringements

If you receive a parking infringement you have two options available to you:

• Pay the penalty of the infringement within 28 days of the date of the Parking Infringement. For direct credit card payments please telephone (03) 9224 0347. For mail payments the address is Deakin University (Payments), GPO Box 4683, Melbourne Vic 3000.
• Write a letter explaining why you should not have received the fine. The letter should contain the Parking Infringement Number and also your return address. The letter should be addressed to: Deakin University (Contesting), GPO Box 4683, Melbourne Vic 3000.

Either option must be done within 28 days of receiving the Parking Infringement. If there is no payment or correspondence from you within the 28 days, you will be sent a reminder notice and incur a late payment fee.

 

Traffic and Roads

All campuses are governed by the Road Safety Act (1986), as are all Victorian roads. This means that you must obey all road rules, signs and speed limits.

A speed limit of 40 kilometres per hour applies on all campus roads.  Car parks have posted speed limits of 10 or 20 kilometres per hour.

Victoria Police have the right to issue infringement notices for traffic offences on campus roadways.
