Parking on Bundoora campus

From January 2026, the new Bundoora campus car parking system will make parking easier and more efficient.

Permits will be accessed through the RMIT Permit Web Portal and casual parking paid for using the RMIT Parking app. These will replace the existing EasyPark app, permit system and physical ticket machines.

Car parking will move to credit card payments only – with the removal of physical ticket machines. Paid parking hours are between 8:00am–4:00pm, Monday to Friday. Rates will remain unchanged in 2026.

Download the RMIT Parking app – available on the App Store and Google Play for both iOS and Android devices.

Permit parking

Parking permits are available and encouraged for those who regularly park on campus.

Parking enforcement applies year-round between 8am–4pm on weekdays. Vehicle registration numbers are used to verify parking eligibility. Users are responsible for ensuring the correct registration is entered, and that the correct amount of time has been paid for. Parking officers will check registrations against payments made via the app or permit portal.

We recommend purchasing a permit for those who park on campus regularly as they offer a more cost-effective option compared to paying for casual parking each day. Please note that permits are non-refundable once purchased.

Reason for your review. Appeal can only be considered if they are appealed in one of the five categories below.

The Infringement Review Process

For further information, please refer to the Fines Victoria website.

What we can review

We can review parking fines issued by RMIT that have not been paid, not registered with Fines Victoria and have not been referred to the Magistrates Court.

Who can apply for a review?

If you have been issued with a parking fine, you can apply in writing and you must the registered owner of the vehicle. The registered owner can also nominate the person responsible for the parking fine. If you need to nominate another driver, please make a written request to contactRMIT@orikan.com.

You can also provide another person (such as a family member or friend) with written authority to apply on your behalf.

For parking fines issued to a company (or a company owned vehicle), you must be the company director or authorised to act on behalf of the company.

Internal Review Grounds

Expand all sections

The law provides five categories or grounds for a parking fine to be internally reviewed:

Contrary to Law: you believe that an offence did not occur or that the issuance of the infringement notice is not valid.
Exceptional Circumstances: unforeseen and exceptional circumstances outside of your control may excuse the conduct that led to the offence. This could include a vehicle breakdown or a medical emergency.
Mistaken Identity: you believe that the infringement notice was issued to the wrong person or vehicle.
Special Circumstances: you had significantly reduced capacity to understand or control the offending behaviour due to a disorder, disease, illness, addiction, homelessness, or family violence.
If your fine resulted from a situation of family violence, you may be eligible for support. For more information, please visit the Family Violence Scheme.
Alternatively, you may be eligible to address your infringement, through other methods, such as unpaid work. For more information, please visit the Work and Development Permit page.
Person Unaware: you did not receive advice of the infringement because your fine was originally served by post, and you changed your address between the issuance and the receipt of the infringement.

It is important to note that you can only have one appeal per infringement in accordance with the Infringements Act 2006.

Applications for an internal review should (where appropriate) be accompanied by supporting verifiable evidence. This may include photographs of parking signage, witness statements, redacted bank account statements or other evidence that supports your appeal.

If you paid for your parking but incorrectly recorded your Vehicle Registration Number

If you paid for your parking but incorrectly recorded your VRN (Vehicle Registration Number), you’ll need to provide the following:

A copy of the Easy Park receipt evidencing the time that you paid for parking.
A copy of your bank statement / credit card statement, evidencing payment.

If a medical emergency occurs

In these circumstances, we would consider a medical emergency to be a severe injury, illness or circumstances posing risk to life or health.

If an emergency occurred, you will need to provide a formal letter, on letterhead from the hospital, doctor’s office or medical practitioner that confirms the following:

that you were involved in a medical emergency at the time the parking fine was issued; and
this prevented you from parking legally.

On receipt of your appeal, the parking fine is placed on hold, while we review it.

We consider all available information including evidence provided by you, evidence collected from the issuing officer, evidence from third parties, circumstances, and any requirements at law. If we need more information, from you, we will request it in writing.

We assess your application in line with the Infringements Act 2006 and the Attorney-General’s Guidelines to the Infringements Act 2006.

We have a maximum of 90 days to decide on your appeal (longer if we request additional evidence from you), although we will respond as soon as possible. Our estimated times to process your appeal are below:

Time status	Processing time
Normal	0-31 days
Busy	31-60 days
Extremely Busy	61-90 days

Please note that any request or response will be sent to your mailing address, so please allow additional time for the correspondence to arrive. If you change your address, please advise by email to contactRMIT@orikan.com.

When we review your parking fine, there are several potential outcomes, which include:

Confirming the decision to issue the parking fine.
Withdrawing the parking fine and replacing it with an Official Warning.
Withdrawing the parking fine.
Withdrawing the parking fine and referring the matter to Court.

If your appeal is denied, there are several options available to you as follows:

Pay your parking fine to finalise the matter by visiting Merchant Suite or by phoning 9058 6646 and follow the prompts (payment by VISA or Mastercard).
Apply for a payment extension by emailing contactRMIT@orikan.com
Elect to have the matter heard in court by emailing contactRMIT@orikan.com
Nominate another person as responsible for the Infringement Notice by emailing contactRMIT@orikan.com

Please be aware that whilst our internal decision makers consider each appeal on its own merits, it is considered that an appeal from an individual with multiple infringements, especially for the same offence will not be waived, unless one of the five internal review grounds can be substantiated.

The campus is very well signed at our entries to advise everyone arriving in a vehicle that parking permits / tickets are required and our website contains ticket information including fees, methods of payment and location of our ticket machines. At the entry to each parking area, there are signs indicating that you are entering a paid parking area, along with the Easy Park app information.

Appeals are almost never granted for any of the reasons listed below:

“Everybody parks there and I’m the only one who got a ticket.”
“I was only there for five (or ten etc) minutes.”
“I’ve parked there for the last five weeks (months, years etc) and I’ve never been infringed before.”
“I didn’t know.”
“I thought it was a space.”
“I did not see the sign.”
“I did not know I could not park there.”
“I did not read the information printed on permit or the terms and conditions of the permit.”
