receive their yearly unreserved sticker. These stickers are needed
for the following carparks:
Hawthorn – Henry St and Paterson St, and disabled bays Wakefield
St
Prahran – Carparks 1, 7 and 8.

The sticker must be displayed on the front windscreen of vehicle
at all times.
Unreserved stickers are for identification purposes only. A daily
ticket needs to be purchased when parked in Swinburne Unreserved
carparks (see Campus Plans).
Please see campus plans for locations of carparking areas on all
campuses.
Staff Reserved Parking Stickers
Reserved stickers are issued from Facilities & Services
following a successful application for salary packaging found on
Human
Resources website, Form D2 Salary Packaging.
The Reserved stickers have their own colour and are issued at the
beginning of each year. Reserved parking entitles the holder to
one Reserved bay on their home campus. When travelling to other
campuses, parking is on a search and find basis in the Unreserved
carparks only (no daily ticket is needed). The sticker will show
the allocated home campus carpark and bay number.
If you do not have Salary packaging and you still wish to have
a reserved bay (first come, first served basis) then contact the
Carparking Contractor at the multideck carpark Hawthorn Campus,
phone (03) 9818 3255. On availability of a reserved bay payment
is made a month in advance on which a monthly permit is issued (see
Fees and Charges). Failure to pay could result
in a loss of the bay to the next person on the waiting list.
Staff Pooled Vehicle Stickers
Pooled stickers are issued by Facilities & Services
on the basis that the holder is salary packaging and pooling their
vehicle when they are not using it. The Pooled sticker has its own
colour and is issued at the beginning of each year.
Pooled salary packaged vehicles are to go into the general fleet
vehicle pool when the assigned staff member is not using it. Spare
keys are to be given to the Facilities & Services department
at Prahran, Wantirna and Croydon campuses, TAFE reception at Hawthorn
Campus, and reception at Lilydale campus at times when vehicle is
available for pool use as well as times of vehicle availability.
Pooled vehicles are allocated a reserved bay on the home campus.
When travelling to other campuses pooled vehicles can park in the
‘Pooled Vehicle' area (see Campus Plans
for locations).
The Pooled sticker will show the Vehicle registration number as
well as the allocated Carpark and bay number.
Disabled Parking Stickers
Disabled staff and students require an Unreserved sticker
as well as a generic disabled sticker (available from either their
Council or VicRoads) displayed.

& Services. Visitor parking is only available to external parties
(e.g. Guest speakers who donate their time, Chancellory visitors,
