On-Street Parking

Free on-street parking is available just outside the Rockhampton Showgrounds near Entry Gates 1 (New Exhibition Road, Wandal Road and Campbell Street) and 8 (Lion Creek Road).

Illegal parking, or parking causing a blockage for a local resident to access their home or business will be monitored, and will result in a fine or the vehicle being towed (at owner's expense).

Accessible parking

There are several accessible parking spots available near Gate 1. Patrons must clearly display a current Government-issued Disability Parking Permit to access these parking spots. Accessible parks will be monitored and enforced by Council’s Local Laws Department.
