On weekdays, campus parking costs $26 for 4 hours or $39 for all day, while parking after 5:00pm costs $15 (about.unimelb.edu.au). The weekday charges apply alongside the campus operator’s payment arrangements. The campus sits at 156-290 Grattan Street, Parkville VIC 3052, so the official lots are practical for visitors attending appointments or events inside the university grounds. Weekend and public holiday parking is covered by the campus fee schedule, with payment required under the operator’s arrangements (about.unimelb.edu.au). ## Busy Periods Around the Parkville Campus Parking demand is strongest during teaching terms, when students and staff arrive throughout the day and the surrounding Parkville streets serve as overflow for campus trips. Street parking also needs care around the Sports Precinct. Public or student parking is not available in the Sports Precinct, described as the area immediately around the hockey pitch (muhc.org.au). That restriction makes nearby public streets unsuitable as a default alternative for campus visits, especially when sporting activity or a university event is under way. Drivers heading to an event should use a designated car park rather than treating the Sports Precinct as general campus parking. Show map of Parkville ## Other Car Parks Near University of Melbourne The closest listed alternatives are 150 m from the campus, making them a short walk for students, staff and visitors who want to leave the car outside the university grounds. Those 150 m options include three priced spaces: a private Parkville space at $100 a week, a public Melbourne space at $239 a month and another public Melbourne space at $60 a week. A further public space is listed at $285 a month. Two more nearby spaces are listed at price on enquiry, so they can be counted as alternatives without assigning them a cost. No free-period rule is attached to these listings. ## Parksy Spaces Close to the Campus Parksy shows four spaces 150 m from the campus, which is a few steps away for a student with a regular timetable or a staff member making a daily trip. The choices include a secure private Parkville space at $100 a week, a secure public Melbourne space at $239 a month, a secure public Melbourne space at $60 a week and an affordable monthly public Melbourne CBD space at $285 a month. Weekly pricing suits shorter study or work commitments, while monthly pricing suits longer stays. Two covered Carlton spaces sit slightly farther away. A secure 24/7 covered parking space for a car or SUV is 340 m away at $180 a month, while a secure garage space at 265 Faraday St is 380 m away at $6 an hour. The hourly garage is suited to visitors needing a shorter stay, whereas the covered monthly option is better for staff or students parking regularly. All six nearby Parksy spaces are priced listings. ## Walking and Rail Access to the Campus Arden is the nearest station listed for the campus, at 2.0 km away and a 25-minute walk. That route makes rail practical for drivers who prefer to park farther from the university and complete the final part of the journey on foot, particularly when a close space is unavailable. The campus address is 156-290 Grattan Street, Parkville VIC 3052. The 150 m Parksy spaces provide the shortest listed walk after parking, while the Carlton options at 340 m and 380 m remain walkable for students, staff and visitors carrying only light belongings. Arden is the only station with a supplied distance and walking time, so it is the clear rail reference point for this parking guide.
