Tired of looking for affordable and convenient parking in Macquarie Park? Parking in this popular precinct often means dealing with crowded car parks, slow exits, and permit-only zones, all of which add up to lost time and extra stress. Reserve your parking spot in advance with Parkhound to save time and money. Simply enter your location and time, apply any filters you need, and we’ll show you the best available spots!
Macquarie Park is a suburb located about 13 kilometres northwest of Sydney CBD. Over the years, it has grown into one of Sydney’s busiest business and education hubs. It's best known for being home to Macquarie University, a large retail precinct at Macquarie Centre, and the Macquarie Park Innovation District.
Macquarie Park has also earned a reputation as Australia’s own ‘Silicon Valley,’ with the highest concentration of computer network professionals and 13 other digital tech specialisations, according to a report by CSIRO and the Tech Council of Australia.
With thousands of students, office workers, and shoppers moving through the area daily, parking in the area has become increasingly difficult. Car parks in the suburb are notorious for long queues and slow traffic. On-street parking is often packed, and there’s not enough off-street parking infrastructure to keep up with the demand.
The City of Ryde’s Resident Parking Scheme adds to the parking woes. Under the parking rules, non-residents are limited to two-hour stays on weekdays from 8 AM to 6 PM. Those who overstay risk receiving a parking ticket or a parking fine. One way to avoid these parking problems entirely is by reserving a space ahead of time. With Parkhound, you can secure parking even before you head out. Find a parking space that’s easy to access and a few steps away from your destination.
So whether you’re grabbing lunch at Macquarie Centre, parking near your office on Waterloo Road, locking in a spot close to home near Epping Road, or heading to class at Macquarie University, we’ve got you covered. You can also filter for the amenities you need, such as motor scooter parking, 24/7 access, covered parking, security features, and more.
How much is monthly parking in Macquarie Park?
The average cost of monthly parking in Macquarie Park is around $300. But prices can vary widely depending on the location, type of parking (reserved or unreserved parking), nearby amenities, security, and how popular the area is.
These monthly rates are significantly cheaper than daily parking, which can reach a max daily rate of $84 per day with council-run or commercial parking operators. Parkhound’s listings are often up to 30% cheaper than traditional operators, especially if you’re booking long-term parking.
Where is the cheapest monthly parking in Macquarie Park?
The cheapest monthly parking space in Macquarie Park is an undercover space on Alma Road, listed at $247 per month — that’s around $8 per day!
Monthly parking is a smart way to save on parking costs, since it works out to lower daily parking fees compared to paying day by day. For example, at Macquarie Centre’s multi-deck car park, the first three hours are free, but if you stay longer than seven hours, you’ll be charged the standard daily rate of up to $50. Entering before 7 PM and not exiting within the free window means you’ll automatically be charged under the casual parking rates.
You can also choose from various parking options, including driveways, lockup garages, covered parking spaces, sheltered areas, and indoor parking spots offered by local hosts!
*Prices may vary daily, and availability is limited.
