Located just 2 kilometres south of Canberra CBD, Barton is home to major government departments, embassies, and conference venues. It sits just minutes from central Canberra suburbs like Kingston, Forrest, and Deakin, making it a daily destination for public servants, diplomats, and visitors. The area is also close to national landmarks, including the Parliament House, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Portrait Gallery, and Lake Burley Griffin. 

With thousands of people coming into Barton each day, demand for parking far outweighs supply. On-street spaces are limited, and the closure of major public car parks such as York Park and Windsor Walk has removed hundreds of parking bays for commuters. And while the new John Gorton Campus Car Park has added spaces, peak-hour parking in Barton remains hard to find.

Due to strong demand and limited availability, parking in Barton is expensive, with rates often over $17 a day. Costs like these add up quickly for daily commuters and visitors. 

With parking in Barton in short supply, knowing you’ve got a spot before you arrive is a game-changer. Parkhound lets you book in advance so you can skip the search and head straight to where you’re going.

So whether you’re heading to work at Parliament House, going home to an apartment on National Circuit, or staying at the Hotel Realm precinct, Parkhound can help you find a parking space just steps from your destination.

You can also filter for the amenities you need, such as motorcycle parking, electric vehicle charging, 24/7 access, disabled parking, security features, and more.
