Wilson Parking lists 24/7 unlimited access, with hourly parking from $18 and a $24.89 daily rate (wilsonparking.com.au). The centre’s own parking information lists a standard rate of $18 per hour, an evening rate of $14 flat rate after 5pm, an earlybird maximum of $75 per day and [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) when you are in and out within 30 minutes (melbournecentral.com.au). These options suit quick shopping trips particularly well, while the evening flat rate can reduce the cost of a later visit. ## Parksy Spaces Within 120 Metres of the Centre Parksy lists four priced spaces 80 metres from the centre: two secure private parking spaces at $4 an hour and $6 an hour, a secure private space at $450 a month, and a Melbourne Central car park space at $18 an hour. The 80-metre options are close enough for a short walk while giving drivers hourly and monthly choices. A public parking space 120 metres away costs $9 an hour, while secure indoor parking at the same distance costs $396 a month. The $4 and $6 hourly spaces beat the centre’s $18 hourly rate for longer short stays, and the $9 hourly space also undercuts the centre for visits lasting more than a brief free period. Monthly drivers can compare the $396 and $450 options with the centre’s listed $522.75 monthly rate (wilsonparking.com.au). Show map of Melbourne CBD ## Named Alternatives Around Melbourne Central Golden Square Car Park is another named option in Melbourne, described as an open-air car park within walking distance of Melbourne Central (goldensquare.au). Its location also places drivers near Chinatown and QV, which can be useful when one parking stop covers several CBD destinations. Wilson Parking’s Melbourne Central Car Park is the named on-site facility at 300 Lonsdale Street, while Secure Parking publishes a Melbourne parking page covering car parks in central Melbourne, St Kilda and South Yarra (wilsonparking.com.au; secureparking.com.au). These named operators give drivers alternatives to compare by location before entering the centre’s facility. ## Busy Shopping Periods and Melbourne Parking Rules Melbourne’s kerbside parking rules include free parking for up to 15 minutes, while paid kerbside parking on weekdays before 7pm has a peak rate of $7.30 an hour (melbourne.vic.gov.au). Weekday parking after 7pm and all-weekend parking use the off-peak rate of $4.20 an hour (melbourne.vic.gov.au). The centre’s free parking period is limited to being in and out within 30 minutes, and the centre lists a $14 flat evening rate after 5pm (melbournecentral.com.au). The $75 earlybird maximum applies to the centre’s car park, so a full-day shopping visit can cost substantially more than a short stop (melbournecentral.com.au). Weekends, sale periods and event visits are the times when securing a space before arrival is most useful, especially where a strict time limit would not suit the planned stay. ## Walking From Flinders Street Station to Melbourne Central Flinders Street is the nearest station listed for the centre, 890 metres away or a 12-minute walk. The centre is at 300 Lonsdale Street in Melbourne, near Melbourne CBD, so rail travel avoids searching for a space during busy shopping periods. For drivers combining parking with a station trip, the 890-metre walk from Flinders Street provides a straightforward alternative to taking the car for the whole journey.
