There is a short term Pay and Display car park at QUT under the South East Freeway. Access is via Gardens Point Road, which is entered from Alice St just before the on ramp for the South East freeway (M1). A maximum of 4 hours can be paid for at ticket machines and this will cost $6.00. The ticket machines DO NOT accept notes, 50c coins and 5c coins. Street parking is available around the city but is likely to be full.
A better option may be to park at Southbank or at the Convention Centre at South Brisbane and to come across the Goodwill Bridge into QUT.
Public transport may be an even better alternative.
