Pre-booking Monthly and Daily Parking in Macquarie Park

Parkhound is Australia’s leading parking marketplace, connecting Drivers searching for parking with locals who have a spare space to share. Drivers can browse over 50,000 locations available on the platform. In NSW alone, there’s more than 11,000 spots to choose from. When you book through Parkhound, your parking space is reserved for you so there’s no need to queue, circle the block or worry about missing a parking space. By optimizing empty parking spots in the area, we hope to lessen congestion and give space back to communities.

Parkhound allows local homeowners and small businesses to list their unused parking space on our platform. Hosts can create listings within minutes by sharing descriptions and images of their car space. These listings are then showcased to our Drivers looking for parking in the area who can browse via desktop or our app.

You can filter your search according to long or short-term parking, prices and distance from your destination, allowing you to quickly find your ideal space. It’s a quick process to then request a booking and our Hosts usually respond within 24 hours.

At Macquarie Park, monthly parking is around $216 a month for commuters and visitors to the area. There aren’t many council parking options or traditional operators offering monthly parking in the area. Giffnock Avenue Car Park, managed by Wilson, doesn’t disclose their daily rates and doesn't appear to offer monthly parking. For residents, you can apply for a parking permit from the City of Ryde but you’re not guaranteed a parking spot in front of your home.

If you’re a student or staff member at Macquarie University, you can purchase pre-paid monthly parking. To reserve a parking space as a student, it will cost you around $2,600 a year. Even for staff, parking costs are high. A year’s parking permit for a reserved spot costs around $2,860. Both student and staff parking permits are cheaper when you don’t reserve a parking space, but that does mean you’re not guaranteed a park when you arrive.
