above parking regulations are subject to change. It is
expected that parking fees will be changed from 1 January
1997.
Student Residence & Carpark
A student accommodation college including apartments
and car parking is due to be completed by the beginning of
1997. The complex contains an 86 bedroom student
residential college and 38 two and three bedroom
apartments. It will provide much needed accommodation
for Swinburne students from the country and overseas.
In addition the complex will provide parking for more
than 680 cars. The five deck car park will solve many of
the problems local residents and the Swinburne
community has faced as Swinburne has grown.
