Free parking at UQ locations in January 2026

In preparation for parking changes in 2026, parking at all UQ sites will be free throughout January. This includes casual (hourly) parking and permit parking.

The CelloPark app and vPermit website will be turned off on 24 December 2025.

We'll provide instructions in January for how to download our new parking app, PayStay, or apply for a permit.
