Getting around

Parking at WITT

Tip: Parking is free and always popular, so arrive early!

There are dedicated ākonga (student) parking spaces across campus.  There are also dedicated 'public' parks that have a time limit so look for any signs, warnings to avoid any parking fines. 

There are  dedicated accessible parks and ākonga (students) must display the mobility cards.  If you have any questions about accessing any of the the WITT services and facilities contact the Accessibility Coordinator.

There are lots of walkways to walk or ride your bike around New Plymouth and the WITT campus.  Visit the Let's Go website for more information.
