Parking

Are you a learner at NMIT? If so, you can park your car in the campus car park where your programme is delivered.

Please note: Car parks aren't guaranteed and offered on a 'first-come, first-served' basis.

Nelson Campus Learners | Parking onsite

If you are a Nelson Campus learner, you need to ensure that you provide us with your licence plate details to park onsite between 8am and 4.30pm on weekdays (Monday to Friday).  We will be entering your details directly onto the Parking Enforcement Services website.

Please email enrolments@nmit.ac.nz with your student ID number and your licence plate details once your enrolment is complete.

Learners studying night classes do not need to provide licence plate details (onsite car parks are not monitored after 4.30pm).

Learners studying on day/block courses will need to email enrolments@nmit.ac.nz with their student ID number and licence plate details once your enrolment is complete. 

Please note that the dates will be specified on the Parking Enforcement Services website and will match the start and end date of your enrolment.

Standard parking rules apply and these are displayed on nearby signs. One vehicle per learner.

The location of the onsite car parks is shown on the campus map below.

Parking infringements

Onsite parking is monitored and infringements for failure to follow parking rules or failure to register to your licence plate will incur a $85.00 infringement from Parking Enforcement Services.

Offsite parking is monitored and infringements for failure to follow parking rules will incur a Parking Breach Notice (fine) from Nelson City Council.

Richmond Campus learners

If you are a Richmond Campus learner, and you need to visit Nelson Campus, please email enrolments@nmit.ac.nz with your student ID number and your licence plate details.

Marlborough Campus learners

If you are a Marlborough Campus learner, you do not need to provide your licence plate details.

Overnight stays and camping

No overnight stays, or camping, in any vehicle self-contained or non-self-contained is permitted in NMIT car parks. The local Councils have information on where freedom camping is allowed in their region and other camping options. Please contact SANITI to discuss your situation if this affects you as they may have options for assistance.

In Nelson, there are also Nelson City Council (NCC) parking areas in the residential neighbourhood around campus.  Some NCC parks display designated parking times. Due to parking pressures in Nelson, both NMIT and NCC monitor their car parking areas and infringement tickets are issued to those not abiding by the rules. Avoid getting fines by being aware of the NMIT parking rules that are displayed at all NMIT car park entrances or using alternative transport methods.

Bicycle racks, bus timetables and other parking options

NMIT also has a number of bicycle racks and the eBus timetable is worth checking out for cheap bus fares around the city and as far out as Richmond, they even have an iOS app! There are also a few private car parks, including the Masonic Lodge on Nile Street, where for a fee you can park all day on weekdays.

Plan your travel to get to classes on time without any stress.
