Permits are issued digitally through the vPermit web portal for eligible staff, students, residents and other user groups (newcastle.edu.au). Most major car parks are General parking, with separate Staff, Disabled, Reserved and Service bays (newcastle.edu.au). Visitors can use ticket machines to purchase the all-day parking fee, which is $5.10 without a parking permit (newcastle.edu.au). CellOPark is another payment option, with registration available through the CellOPark app or by calling 1300 467 275 (newcastle.edu.au). The campus address is Engineering Close, Callaghan NSW 2308, near Jesmond. ## Busy Periods Around Callaghan Campus Parking pressure is greatest during teaching terms, when students and staff arrive at similar times for classes, laboratories and office hours. University parking is classified as a restricted area and as General parking except where signs state otherwise (newcastle.edu.au). The campus map also identifies resident parking, [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) and motorcycle parking, so a space on or beside campus may have a different use from a standard General bay (newcastle.edu.au).

A garage in Waratah on Edith Street is 1.9 km away at $2.50 an hour, making it a practical option for drivers who prefer covered parking. A public parking lot in Waratah is 2.2 km away and costs $2.50 an hour. Visitors can also choose a Newcastle parking space 2.2 km away at $2.50 an hour, while a secure public parking space in Mayfield West is 2.2 km away at $250 a week. A further Newcastle parking space is 2.5 km away at $2.50 an hour. The weekly Mayfield West option suits longer student or staff stays, while the hourly spaces fit shorter campus visits. ## Shopping and Council Parking Near Callaghan Drivers looking beyond the campus car parks can use the Parksy spaces in Waratah, Newcastle or Mayfield West described above, with choices ranging from hourly parking to a weekly space. The Waratah garage on Edith Street is 1.9 km away, and the Waratah public parking lot is 2.2 km away. These locations suit visitors who want to leave a car outside the restricted campus area. The campus transport map distinguishes General parking from resident parking and free parking (newcastle.edu.au). ## Walking From Warabrook Railway Station Warabrook railway station is the nearest station to the University of Newcastle, at 810 metres from the campus and an 11-minute walk. The station is in a useful position for students, staff and visitors who can leave the car at a Parksy space or travel by train instead of driving to Engineering Close. The campus map marks a Station Shuttle route as well as the Campus Loop and NUspace shuttle routes (newcastle.edu.au). A station-based arrival can therefore be combined with the campus shuttle network, while the 11-minute walk provides a direct connection to the campus address in Callaghan near Jesmond.
