Facilities Management

This is a reminder to students that on-street parking has been temporarily removed in Maidstone Road between Ilam Road and Waimairi Road.

This means that no parking traffic restrictions apply and will be enforced.

This reduced parking on Maidstone Road is not only to enable the Dormer Construction Team to manage and complete the Ilam Wastewater works, but also to ensure the health and safety of road users and road workers while heavy road works machinery is in use.

Dormer Construction are requesting staff and students NOT to park in areas marked with no parking signs through the road construction zones.  If this continues to be an issue, vehicles will be towed.

* Please remember that UC have parking available on the Dovedale site. *
