Transport

A range of parking and transport options are available to staff and students for commuting to and between campuses.

The University encourages the use of sustainable transport such as walking, cycling, public transport and carpooling.

  • Bike parking

    Secure bike sheds are located at North Terrace, Waite, AHMS and Rundle Mall Plaza. CCTV-monitored undercover bike racks, and numerous other bike racks are also available at North Terrace and Waite.

    Access to secure bike sheds is available to current staff, students and visitors. Complete the Bike Shed Access Form and swipe access will be added to your ID card. Requests typically take 2-3 business days to process.

    The Bike Shed Access Conditions of use states that riders shall not leave a bike(s) in the bike shed for more than 30 consecutive days and that spaces cannot be ‘reserved’ by leaving locks on them overnight or on weekends. 

    Bikes and bike locks identified by Security as 'abandoned' are removed annually from campus so that facilities can be better utilised by current cyclists. This assessment is based on the presence of accumulated debris, rust and/or cobwebs around the item.  

    Report a stolen bike

    To report a stolen bike, visit the Security Office at your campus or call 831 35990. Security will write an Incident Report based on information you provide and will check to see if your bike parking location was covered by CCTV. 

    Once the University Incident Report is done, you’ll need to report the theft with SA Police on 131 444. Let SAPOL know if Security has CCTV footage. SAPOL will give you a Police Incident Report Number to provide back to the Security Office. It will be up to you to liaise with SAPOL as the investigation progresses. 

    The best security against bike theft is using a D-lock and parking your bike in a secure bike shed.

  • Car parking

    There is limited car parking and motorbike parking available at all campuses. If parking on the North Terrace campus you must display a valid parking permit on your vehicle.

    Visit the parking website to learn more about parking on campus or to apply for a parking permit, disability permit or temporary parking permit.
