Bicycle parking and facilities
The End of Trip facility in Bike Box 41 (Building 41) was closed on Friday 14 December 2018. There will be a new facility when the Student Hub project is completed. We have made arrangements for those who have already renewed for 2019.
Any items left in the facility after it was closed has been stored and registered as Lost Property. Normal timeframes for keeping lost property apply.
If you have any questions about the closure, contact PF Assist.
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.
