Victoria University of Wellington Students' Association

VUWSA have car parks available for students on the Pipitea and Kelburn campuses at subsidised rates. Upon application you must provide evidence as to why you require a car park. Reasons can include:

• The distance between home and the University or the unavailability of public transport in you area – you will need to provide a bank statement, electricity bill or phone bill that has your proof of address, and you may need to prove this by supplying a map of your area demonstrating that it is not on or near a bus or a train route;
• Health/mobility difficulties – you may require a letter from your GP;
• Car-pooling to campus – VUWSA can Xerox other student IDs once you come in with the student ID cards belong to whoever you are car-pooling with;
• Work requirements – you will need a letter from your employer;
• Childcare issues – a letter from your childcare provider will be required;
• Any other special circumstances on a case-by-case basis.

The more forms of evidence you can provide as to why you need a car park will enhance your chances of gaining a permit.

Permit cost $220.00 for either trimester one or two. If you wish to get a permit for both semesters, the cost is $400.00. Trimester three permits are only $80.00.

Each permit is required to be displayed in the front window of your vehicle. You will also be required to inform VUWSA of any change in your circumstances such as a new registration number.

You can submit your application (with supporting evidence) by dropping it in to VUWSA’s Kelburn Office, or post to VUWSA, P.O. Box 600, Wellington.
