All general parking areas are subject to capacity limitations so please arrive early to secure a space.

General parking is subject to a $10 charge payable by cash only in all areas.

If attending either an ACT Brumbies or Canberra Raiders game, fans can take advantage of the ‘Footy Early Bird Parking Offer’.  That being; fans who get in early and arrive within the first 45 minutes after the gates have opened on match days will pay a reduced parking fee of $5.  Please note, cash payment only!

To access the West carpark, turn off Haydon Drive into Battye Street.

The East carpark is accessed from Agar Street, off Ginninderra Drive however, this entrance is only available on event days.

Overflow Parking

For large events, overflow parking may be available at the University of Canberra accessed via College St and buses will have some capacity to pick up on College St. Otherwise it is a 20-minute walk to / from the stadium.  There is no charge for overflow parking.

Dropping off & Pick up

Community “drop off points” exist on the Eastern side of Leverrier St and out the front of the AIS Arena.  To access these areas, vehicles will need to enter via the Northern end of Leverrier St from Ginninderra Dr.  Please note that due to traffic arrangements pick up and drop off on the East side of the stadium is not possible.

Traffic Arrangements

When arriving or leaving GIO Stadium for a major event (e.g. Raiders/Brumbies match etc.) temporary traffic arrangements are put in place to ensure safe vehicle and pedestrian movement within the Bruce precinct. The changed traffic conditions also are put in place to minimise disruption to local residents in the area and permit traffic to enter and leave the stadium precinct as quickly as possible.

The roads that have altered traffic conditions are Battye, Braybrooke and Masterman streets.  It is the responsibility of all patrons attending events at GIO Stadium to park their vehicles legally, and the responsibility of all patrons to obey the road rules at all times.

Please show patience when leaving the precinct due to the increase in traffic and pedestrian activity during major events. When exiting please be respectful of residents and businesses in the area.

Patrons are reminded not to leave valuables in their cars as they are responsible for the security of their own vehicles.  GIO Stadium Canberra does provide limited security in the car parks using mobile security patrols and limited use of the Australian Federal Police.

Please show patience when leaving the precinct due to the increase in traffic and pedestrian activity during major events. When exiting please respect our neighbours.
