Please note Curtin parking rates have not increased since 2021 and the rise scheduled for 1 January 2025 has been deferred. Curtin regularly reviews rates to ensure fair pricing and alignment with sustainability goals, as well as public transport and community parking costs.
Curtin utilises a pay-as-you-go parking system. Our parking bays are zoned and colour coded, with rates and access varying across each zone.
