Parking Within Government House Grounds
Limited parking is available within the grounds of Government House at 170 Fernberg Road, Paddington, for people attending an event (govhouse.qld.gov.au). The official guidance does not provide a public tariff, opening hours or a capacity figure, so access is centred on event attendance rather than ordinary visitor parking.
When the internal spaces are unavailable, the Queensland Government House guidance directs drivers to on-street parking nearby (govhouse.qld.gov.au). The site is 700 m from Paddington centre, making a nearby street space or pre-booked alternative more practical than relying on finding a space inside the grounds.
Event-Day Pressure Around Fernberg Road
Parking demand is likely to be most concentrated when events are being held, because the official event guidance describes parking within the grounds as limited (govhouse.qld.gov.au).

On-street parking is the stated fallback around the site (govhouse.qld.gov.au). The Queensland Government source does not publish a specific time limit, permit condition or named surrounding street rule, so any available kerbside space remains subject to the signs and restrictions displayed on the street at the time.
