Parking Beneath Adelaide City TAFE on Currie Street

The campus page does not provide a permit scheme, visitor allocation or operator name for the underground station, so the practical choice is to treat it as paid public parking rather than assume staff or student access.

UPark Light Square also lists night rates from 6:00 pm (upark.com.au).

The operator lists the facility at 22-140 Currie Street and a night rate starting at 6:00 pm (upark.com.au).
City of Adelaide streets provide approximately 9,300 free time-limit spaces and 3,000 paid ticket parking spaces across the city (cityofadelaide.com.au).

Busy Periods Around Adelaide City TAFE and Light Square
Parking pressure is likely to be highest during weekday class arrivals, when campus demand combines with CBD traffic and nearby shopping, dining and office trips. The campus sits between Currie Street, Hindley Street and Light Square, so the open-air areas identified by TAFE SA can fill before a class start, particularly when several courses begin at a similar time.
Events and open days can add visitors to the normal campus demand, while city events can also increase competition for surrounding public bays. A driver using the streets around the campus needs to match the stay to the signed time limit or paid period, especially on the Currie Street and Hindley Street approaches.
Adelaide Railway Station and the Walk to Campus
Adelaide railway station is the nearest rail connection, 360 m from the campus and a 5-minute walk.
Mile End railway station is another train option, at approximately a 17-minute walk from the campus. Adelaide railway station is the more convenient choice for a short transfer on foot, while Mile End can suit passengers whose train route makes that station easier. The station choices also provide a useful alternative when class arrivals, open days or city events make nearby car parks busy.
