Vehicle Access and Parking Prohibited – All Grass Areas

Facilities Management would like to remind all students that travel and/or parking of vehicles (including bikes) is prohibited on all grass areas across the UC Campus over the winter months. This restriction encompasses Ilam Campus, Dovedale Campus and Ilam fields.

This reminder is prompted by the recent heavy rain and flooding that has waterlogged the UC grounds earlier than is usual for winter.

Please refer any enquiries to fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz.

Thank you for your support in protecting UC grounds conditions.
