Other Parking Near 21 Kensington Avenue
The campus-specific source identifies off-street parking on Kensington Avenue and Buick Street, but it does not provide a shopping-centre car park or council car park near the Petone address with a published free-period rule. Wellington City council’s parking page lists 12-hour pay-by-plate parking on Oriental Parade, Kent Terrace, Cambridge Terrace, Kelburn Parade, Salamanca Road and Glasgow Street (wellington.govt.nz).
Those council locations are in Wellington city rather than beside the Petone campus, so they are not practical substitutes for a class visit. Wilson Parking separately operates Wellington CBD Car Park and directs drivers to its location page for charges and operating hours (wilsonparking.co.nz). The named CBD facilities are therefore alternatives for trips into central Wellington, not local campus parking.
