Bicycle parking and facilities
On campus, you can only park your bicycle at an approved bicycle rack, bike box or storage room.
UQ Security will remove and store your bicycle if it’s:
- parked in an unapproved area, such as a hallway
- locked to a railing, ramp, bollard, or lamp post, or
- left dormant in an approved area for two weeks.
Remember, bicycles can be a hazard for people with mobility or vision difficulties. Bikes can also block emergency exits and escape pathways.
If your bicycle has been removed by Security, you will have to show proof of ownership to get it back. If this is your second offence, you may be issued with a fine.
We’re trying to keep our campuses accessible and safe for everyone. To find approved bicycle parking, read the information below.
