Wai-te-ata Road Parking Passes –

Some good news: there will be limited parking in 2025; the bad news is that the usual parking spaces on Waiteata Road and the area around them are being strengthened, so they will be out for a lot of the year.

This will see a large reduction in available parking spaces, we are working with our wonderful University to get some spaces for you to park in.
