Drivers heading to campus can use Macquarie University’s general campus car parks instead. Visitor parking is charged at $22.40 for the first hour, $11.10 per hour thereafter and $89 maximum daily (mq.edu.au). Macquarie Centre also has over 5,000 parking spaces, with its car park and Express Car Park open 24 hours, 7 days a week (macquariecentre.com.au). ## Commuter Parking and Busy-Period Planning at the University Station Transport for NSW provides up to 18 hours of [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) each day when a driver completes a public transport journey with an accepted Opal card and uses that Opal card when exiting the car park (transportnsw.info). This arrangement is designed for commuters combining a car trip with public transport, rather than for parking without a recorded public transport journey. Macquarie University says it offers many parking spaces for people travelling to campus by car (students.mq.edu.au). The university’s visitor rate reaches an $89 maximum daily charge, so a full-day campus stay needs to be budgeted separately from a public-transport commuter parking journey (mq.edu.au). Show map of Macquarie Park ## Nearby Private Parking Spaces in Macquarie Park Two private parking spaces are listed 140 metres from the station, both at $2 an hour. A private parking space 150 metres away is listed at $45 a month, making it the priced option suited to a regular commuter who needs repeated access. Two further private spaces are listed 250 metres away at $3 an hour, giving occasional commuters a choice of priced spaces within a short walk of the station. ## Street Parking Rules Around Herring Road and Macquarie Park The station address is on Herring Road, beside Macquarie University (students.mq.edu.au). Drivers using nearby streets need to follow the posted parking controls applying to each individual bay, including any signed time limit, clearway, loading restriction or permit requirement. Parking enforcement in the area is particularly relevant around a metro station and university campus, where commuter demand combines with campus visitors and local activity. A vehicle left on-street must comply with the sign at the parking position, rather than relying on the station destination or the availability of nearby private spaces. ## Metro, Bus and Park-and-Ride Alternatives From the Station Macquarie Park is the nearest other station listed for this location, at 1.3 kilometres or a 16-minute walk. Macquarie University has its own Sydney Metro station on the corner of Herring Road and the university campus, giving campus travellers a direct rail connection (students.mq.edu.au). Macquarie Centre provides an alternative large parking destination with over 5,000 spaces and 24-hour, 7-day opening (macquariecentre.com.au). For a separate paid car park, Secure Parking lists 3 Byfield Street, Macquarie Park, with a $12 flat daily rate for the full car park opening hours, available weekdays, weekends and public holidays; entry is after 6:00 am (secureparking.com.au).
