Important Changes to Parking Restrictions on Northfields Ave

Parking conditions on Northfields Ave have changed from the Western Entry Roundabout up to the driveway leading to the University Lodge.  This changes parking on both sides of the street to a 4 hour limit for the hours of 7:00am through until 6:00pm, Monday to Friday.  Map of Northfields Ave parking changes. 

Wollongong City Council will be installing signs today to reflect the changes. In order to allow for an adjustment period, the Wollongong City Council Rangers will not start patrolling for parking infringements until Monday 10 June 2013 along this section of Northfields Ave.
 
These changes have been put in place to increase the availability of parking for students and visitors, and to allow for a greater turnover of parking close to the university during the day.  
 
We ask that everyone be aware of the new parking restrictions and carefully observe all signs when parking.
