A limited number of Long Term Parking spaces may be available specifically for those employed by local businesses and residents at Sydney Olympic Park wishing to park on a long-term basis (minimum 3 months). SOPA’s Long Term Parking can not be purchased for specific event periods only (eg: Royal Easter Show).
Parking rates vary depending on location (ie: which car park) and access limits (ie: 6am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday only, or 24/7access). Current rates are posted on SOPA’s web site at: https://www.sydneyolympicpark.nsw.gov.au/parking/casual-and-longterm-parking
SOPA will use its best endeavours to locate permit holders within their allocated car park; however relocation may be required at times of major events, particularly during the Royal Easter Show event period when certain car parks are temporarily unavailable. For this reason parking in a particular car park can not be guaranteed and it may be necessary to relocate to a different car park should the need arise.
SOPA Long Term Parking does not allow for on-street parking, parking in a pay & display car park, parking outside of a marked bay and/or in contravention of a regulatory sign. Infringement may be issued without warning for non-compliance.
SOPA Long Term Parking will be charged each month, in advance on the respective monthly anniversary date. Payment must be made via SOPA’s direct debit system (ie Westpac PayWay) and access permits will be deactivated within 24 hours following advice of a declined transaction (eg: insufficient funds and ‘Do Not Honour’). A $38.50 Administration Fee will apply in such cases when seeking reinstatement. Continuous decline of payment may result in SOPA terminating the respective parking access.
It is important to understand that the SOPA parking permit (ie: proxy card) must be used in sequence (1 Entry followed by 1 Exit). If you have forgotten your pass and/or you push for a ticket on entry, you will be charged the full casual rate applicable, as per the ticket. Continuous misuse of your permit may result in SOPA terminating your parking access.
For those holding a SOPA Parking Permit in excess of the minimum 3 month period, suspension of the permit may be permitted whilst on leave of absence (Note: Minimum 1 month and up to 6 months, or maternity leave for up to 12 months with a doctor’s certificate). An Administration Fee of $38.50 will apply.
Cancellations and refunds may only be considered after the permit is physically received by SOPA’s parking contractor - Secure Parking. Lost and/or not returned parking permits will incur a $38.50 non-refundable Lost Fee. For the purposes of any refund, usage will be calculated at the current full casual rate (presently $35 per day). As an example; after the initial commitment period of 3 months, a request for refund after 4 days of the following (ie: 4th) month, will equate to $35 X 4 days = $140.00 owing. Any residual may be refunded.
All SOPA Parking Permit fees are subject to increase by the Sydney CPI (rounded up or down to the nearest dollar) each 1 July, or as otherwise determined and advised by SOPA on its website.
Please note that these Terms and Conditions may be subject to change from time to time. You should check SOPA’s website at: https://www.sydneyolympicpark.nsw.gov.au/long-term-parking-terms-and-conditions periodically to keep informed of any changes.
In order to administer the arrangements, SOPA collects and securely stores the name and address of the individual and any associated company, credit card details, e-mail address, contact phone numbers and vehicle registration numbers. You are entitled to access that information and amend, or delete it.
