Barton listings include a secure and convenient private space 1.7 kilometres away at $4 an hour, plus a Kendrew Street car park and a space at 48 Macquarie Street, each 1.8 kilometres away at $5 an hour. The hourly choices are better suited to shorter visits than the weekly or monthly listings.
Peak Pressure and Street Rules Around Russell
Weekday demand is strongest during the NCA paid-parking period of 8.30 am to 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday (nca.gov.au). The wider Russell offices area also includes parking controls that change by time of day, including no parking from 9 am to 11 am and from 2 pm to 3 pm Monday to Friday (cityservices.act.gov.au).
Those restrictions make arrival timing particularly important for visitors using surrounding streets rather than a designated car park. Parking restrictions in NCA areas apply continuously, 24 hours a day and seven days a week (nca.gov.au). The Russell precinct can therefore remain controlled outside standard weekday pay hours, including during early starts, evening work and weekend visits.
Other Official Parking Areas Near Russell and Constitution Avenue
Kelliher Drive, Duntroon Dairy is another named multi-stay area (nca.gov.au), while Kelliher Drive South is also listed for the precinct (nca.gov.au).
For drivers comparing locations, the official parking-area list provides three named alternatives away from the Parksy spaces: Borella Street, Kelliher Drive Duntroon Dairy and Kelliher Drive South (nca.gov.au).

The motorcycle facility is a separate option from the multi-stay areas and is intended for motorbikes.
Walking and Rail Connections From Russell Offices
Russell is positioned within Canberra’s inner government precinct, with the listed parking areas on Borella Street and Kelliher Drive providing alternatives around the office district. The Campbell Parksy spaces are 840 metres from the site, while the Kingston Foreshore listing is 1.6 kilometres away. Barton options are listed at 1.7 kilometres and 1.8 kilometres.
For rail access, Canberra’s public transport network does not provide a conventional heavy-rail station serving Russell. Drivers arriving by public transport should plan for a bus connection and a final walk through the Barton and Russell government precinct. The nearest practical approach is therefore to combine a bus stop near the offices with the short pedestrian leg to 17 Sir Thomas Blamey Square.
