Parking at Otago School of Medicine
The campus is at 39 Riddiford Street in Newtown, with the Wellington Regional Hospital site map showing the Otago School of Medicine area and separate public and staff parking areas (healthnz.govt.nz). The map also marks a closed main entrance, cycle parking, a staff-only walkway and pram parking, so vehicle access is not interchangeable with every pedestrian route (healthnz.govt.nz).
University parking information for the Wellington campus says everyone parking between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday must have a digital parking permit (massey.ac.nz). Care Park operates that campus parking service, with the operator's contact number listed as 0800 2273 7275 (massey.ac.nz). These permit conditions matter most for staff and students planning to leave a car during weekday teaching hours.
Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Near OSM
Students and staff arriving for daytime teaching should allow for a nearby paid space rather than relying on an unreserved campus bay.
Hospital activity adds another source of demand because the Wellington Regional Hospital map distinguishes public parking from staff parking and places the Otago School of Medicine within the hospital campus (healthnz.govt.nz). The map also marks a closed main entrance and a staff-only walkway, making the hospital layout relevant when approaching by car (healthnz.govt.nz).
Parksy Spaces Near Otago School of Medicine

A secure space near Wellington Regional Hospital in Newtown is 250 metres away and costs $4 an hour, making it a practical visitor option for hospital and campus appointments.
For longer access or later arrivals, a secure 24/7 outdoor lot at The Hall St Carpark is 360 metres away at $4 an hour. The closer options suit daily campus users, while the 24/7 spaces suit visitors or students arriving outside standard weekday hours.
Walking and Rail Access to the Newtown Campus
OSM is 270 metres from Newtown centre, so drivers can combine a nearby parking space with a short walk through the suburb. The 220-metre and 230-metre Parksy options are the closest listed alternatives, while the 250-metre hospital-area option keeps the walk similarly compact.
The Wellington Regional Hospital map marks cycle parking at the campus and hospital site (healthnz.govt.nz). That is useful for people choosing to leave a car outside the immediate campus area and complete the final approach without driving through the hospital access points.
