CAR PARK

Mermaid Quay has a 380-space, two-level visitor car park located immediately next door (entrance on Stuart Street) offering 24-hour car parking.  

The car park operates on a ticketless parking system via automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology. As you drive into the car park, the ANPR equipment will record your registration number.

You will automatically be charged on the basis of the number of hours you have been parked in the car park (rounded up to the nearest hour).

At the exit, the ANPR equipment will recognise your number plate and the barrier will rise automatically.
