Stadium Event Parking
Free Stadium Event Day Parking
On stadium event days, parking is free from 2pm in the city.
Did you know that on weekdays when there is an event in Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Council offers free parking in the city?
Please note: Stadium Restricted Parking within blue and orange zones still apply – for more information view our Stadium Restricted Parking Area map.
Queensland Country Bank Stadium events bring great economic benefits to our city centre and local businesses. Due to their popularity, some event traffic and parking restrictions apply to help keep Townsville City easily accessible to the people who live and work in the city.

Restricted Parking
Notes about restricted parking:
- Parking in the Stadium Event Parking Area is regulated for one hour before, until one hour after, the advertised start time of an event at the stadium
- If the event is an NRL game, then the parking regulations will apply from one hour before the start time of the main game.

These restrictions apply to on-street parking only, including driveways from the kerb to your property boundary. It does not apply to vehicles parked within your property.
All other parking restrictions – such as 'no standing' zones, taxi zones, bus zones, and disability parking permit zones – continue to apply.
