Permit rules matter around the campus. Te Ōhanga Village requires a valid parking permit for residents, with permits available from Te Rito Reception (massey.ac.nz). The university’s Auckland campus material does not provide a separate public-street time limit in the supplied local facts, so drivers should not assume nearby residential streets are a free overflow area. Event visitors are better served by arranging a listed public space before arrival.
