Parking at University of Tasmania - Cradle Coast Campus
Students at University of Tasmania - Cradle Coast Campus can use free campus parking with a valid University of Tasmania ePermit (utas.edu.au). The university identifies Cradle Coast among its campuses offering this permit arrangement, so students should arrange the ePermit before driving to the campus at 4-8 Bass Highway, Parklands TAS 7320.
The university’s parking information also refers to parking facilities, car parking and parking voucher machines at its campuses (utas.edu.au). A practical distinction is therefore important: free parking is specifically stated for University of Tasmania students with a valid ePermit, while visitor parking should be managed using the campus signage and voucher-machine arrangements identified by the university.

A Wilmot Street lot 650 metres away costs $1.50 an hour and operates 24/7, making it useful for early, late or irregular campus visits.

The official material identifies student parking and permits, rather than a separate visitor allocation or a special event tariff (utas.edu.au).
