Westfield Chermside

Westfield Chermside is one of the busiest shopping centres in Australia. They’ve also got one of the most extensive parking systems, with 11 car parks connected to the shopping centre. The White Car Park (Hamilton Road entrance) is near the Cinema and the Gold Car Park (Hamilton Road entrance) is near Coles and the Australia Post. The Pink Car Park (basement, Hamilton Road entrance) is near Target and K-Mart; the Lime Car Park (Banfield Street entrance) is near Woolworths and David Jones and the Orange Car Park (Hamilton Road entrance) is near Coles and Fernwood Women's Health Clubs-Mezzanine

But, despite the effort to improve parking, things can still get a little bit confusing. So, let’s break down all the Westfield Chermside parking options so that you can get to what’s important: shopping!

Parking for Visitors

On the one hand, Westfield Chermside parking was built with the shopper in mind. It is estimated that Westfield Chermside Shopping Mall accommodates more than 15 million visitors per year. This is an astounding number of customers; and thus, parking spaces are needed.

Because there are so many different car parks on site, you probably won’t spend too much time searching for a spot. They also offer the first 3 hours free. The rate increases by $3 dollars until you reach seven hours of parking. More than seven hours of parking will cost you $35. Make sure to keep an eye on mall promos that will give you discounted parking rates. For example, spending $200 or more at the mall will give you free parking for an entire day. There are also disability parking spots. In addition, you will automatically have free parking if you park at the shopping centre between 5:30 pm and 6am. Perfect hours for your dinner and movie dates!

Westfield Chermside also offers the ticketless parking option. With the innovative technology of plate number recognition, you no longer have to collect a ticket or pay the fees at a paying station. You just need to register the details of your car at parkingwestfield.com.au, and you can drive in and out of the shopping centre’s parking area without the need to stop at any ticket or paying stations.

The downside with so many separate car parks, though, is that things get confusing, fast. Visitors have complained about not being able to find their cars after a few hours of shopping, and then having to pay fees just because they got lost.

There’s also the issue of the rate breakdown. The first 3 hours are free, but this is a huge shopping centre. If you want to have an afternoon of shopping, a meal, and the movies, you can easily exceed the 3 hour mark. The rate could reach $36 for the day if you’re not careful.
