Unipark

OK so everyone knows parking in the CBD is an absolute blimmen nightmare. Charges have even just been raised around town and now in some places you pay up to $ 18 for four hours street parking where you used to pay $ 4. So ridiculous in my opinion. Anyway now that those changes have been made I’ve been exploring other options for parking. Parking buildings are never the cheapest but when your options are low and your lecture starts in 5 minutes you may just have to zoot into a building. This is what I did last week at the Wilson building on St Pauls Street known as «Unipark». Now it must be called Unipark because it is pretty much reserves for AUT staff. What a bloody mission. I drove round and round all the way to the top to find some parks that weren’t reserved for staff! Eventually those annoying reserved signs started disappearing but all the public car parks were full. I had to hit the rooftop level to find one.
So just know — there are parks here but you will have to sift through a hundred million AUT staff spots to find one. More annoying is a lot of the reserved ones are often free and right by the ground floor. Oh so tempting!
