REMINDER: More limited parking this week due to FIFA matches!

This is the busiest week for FIFA matches with three in one week - Weds 26 July, Fri 28 July and Sun 30 July.  

There will be a series of parking restrictions and road closures in place on pre-match, and match days.

These restrictions will mean there is less available car parking around the Polytechnic and the area may be tricky to drive around due to the road closures.

Key points

• On Weds 26 July, Fri 28 July and Sun 30 July (match days), there will be rolling, widespread road closures and parking restrictions. This will make it difficult to park and drive around the Polytechnic. See details and maps here.
• On Tues 25 July, Thu 27 July, and Sat 29 July (pre-match days), there will be parking for “authorised vehicles only” at the Caledonian Ground, Logan Park Drive, and car parks immediately outside the Sargood Centre and Butts Road.
• “Authorised vehicles” are those authorised by the DCC to work on event operations – these will have signage in the vehicles.
• If you need a park for mobility reasons, please email accessibility@op.ac.nz to arrange a permit.

IMPORTANT: If you park in an area reserved for “authorised vehicles only”, your car will be towed and you’ll have to pay to get it back. The Polytechnic won’t be able to help you with this as it’s been managed by FIFA and the DCC.

We know this will make things challenging for you and we apologise for this as it’s beyond our control. Check out this page for a list of alternative options including info about other parking places in town or sustainable transport options!

If you have any questions, please email dcc@dcc.govt.nz
