Reserved parking spaces

Clifton Car Park and Tory Street Car Park have spaces that can be reserved on a long-term basis. As these parks are in high demand, we have a waiting list that will be prioritised when these parks become available.

Join the waitlist

Clifton Car Park

Four areas in Clifton Car Park are set aside for reserved parking:

• Kumutoto (17 spaces) (under the Boulcott and Everton overpasses, southernmost section): $270 per month (including GST)
• Clifton South (109 spaces) (by Kumutoto Lane, central section): $300 per month (including GST)
• Clifton Terrace (86 spaces) (on Rosina Fell Lane, northernmost section): $375 per month (including GST)
• Clifton Covered Area (45 spaces) (nested area in the main building): $400 per month (including GST)

Tory Street Car Park

Customers have two options for a monthly parking agreement.

• Reserved parking: $369 per month (including GST)
  This grants you a specific space within the parking complex which is intended to be available 24/7.
• Unreserved Parking Agreement: $300 per month (including GST)
  This grants you access to the casual parking area but not a specific space. This type of agreement means there is a chance a space will not be available every day. However, the cost is less than the daily casual rate.

Closed car parks

• The Michael Fowler Centre car park is closed as the land is being used for a new temporary home for the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
• The Civic Square car park is closed due to the Central Library being shut.
