Recommended parking option
If you prefer driving, I’ve found a great car park with a perk…
It’s a nice, bright & well signed car park at the QV BUILDING, 222 Lonsdale Street.
If you park here, & purchase anything over $1 in QV, you can use the receipt & pay only $20 for the whole day! Very unheard of in the city! They’ve got a supermarket, food court & sushi there so you can stock up for your appointment before you come & then use the receipt on exiting.
When leaving the car park:
Go to the ticket pay station on Level B1. Insert your original car park ticket, followed by the discount ticket & your parking will automatically be discounted to $20. You can also visit the car park office on that same Level B1 for assistance. If you’re using the car park on Saturday or Sunday, it’s a flat $15 rate for the day, without needing the $1 purchase.
The Nicholas Building is a 5-10 minute stroll along Swanston Street from QV - or you can catch the tram (it’s free for that route).
