For an event, plan to leave the car in a nearby space and walk to the theatre rather than relying on the frontage. The venue advice points visitors towards other parking options, while a separate transport notice also describes the venue as having no car parking facilities (convention.barbershopharmony.nz).

Street Restrictions and Event-Day Enforcement in Courtenay Place
Street parking around the venue is limited, and Wellington is described as short of parking in the transport advice for St James Theatre (convention.barbershopharmony.nz). The venue has only limited frontage space, reserved for drop-off and pick-up rather than general event parking (wellingtonnz.com).
Ticketmaster describes convenient street parking nearby alongside several parking areas close to the venue, but does not present the theatre frontage as public parking (ticketmaster.co.nz). Drivers using Courtenay Place should treat the marked kerbside rules as controlling, particularly when arriving for a busy performance, and should not use the drop-off area as a longer-stay space.
