Ticketless Parking at ECQ
Eastern Creek Quarter makes your visit easier, faster and more accessible with our ticketless parking system, now fully operational across the precinct.
This upgrade supports the opening of ECQ Outlet, delivering over 1,100 additional parking spaces, including basement parking and improved entry and exit points to better manage increased visitation.
Our ticketless system uses licence plate recognition to provide a seamless experience.
Key Features:
- Effortless Entry & Exit: Your number plate will be your ticket, no need for paper tickets.
- Ample Parking Availability: Optimised turnover ensures more spaces when you visit.
- Free Parking: Free parking periods will still apply, and parking will be free after 6:00 pm.
How It Works:
1. Drive In: Cameras will automatically recognise your vehicle's registration number upon entry.
2. Enjoy Your Visit: No tickets required. Shop, dine and relax at your leisure.
3. Drive Out: Your number plate will be scanned at exit for a seamless departure.
4. Payment: If your stay exceeds the free parking period, conveniently pay at the digital pay machines or at the exit gates.
Traffic & Safety
We’ve received customer feedback about traffic flow, speed humps, signage and pedestrian safety within the car park.
Speed humps are in place to slow vehicle speeds and support the safe operation of the ticketless parking system, including accurate number plate recognition on entry. These measures are required for safety and compliance and will continue to be monitored.
Traffic movements and signage have been updated to manage increased visitation as ECQ continues to grow. We’re also reviewing visibility and pedestrian connections near key access points as part of final site works.

The system has been introduced to improve traffic flow, reduce misuse of car spaces, and make it easier for customers to find parking, particularly during busy periods as the centre continues to grow.
With the addition of ECQ Outlet, the precinct now offers over 1,900 parking spaces, supported by improved access and smarter technology.
ECQ has partnered with Point Parking to manage the system, including parking payments and licence plate recognition.
The speed humps are in place to help manage vehicle speeds throughout the car park. The speed limit at Eastern Creek Quarter is 10km/h, and the humps support this by encouraging slower, safer driving.
Slower speeds improve safety for pedestrians, families, and customers moving between vehicles, and also support the safe and accurate operation of the ticketless parking system.
We understand this is a recent change and will continue to monitor customer feedback and the overall experience as we finalise the car park upgrades.
Yes. We regularly review customer feedback and traffic behaviour across the car park. While some elements such as speed humps and traffic flow arrangements are required for safety and regulatory reasons, we are continuing to assess signage, visibility and layout refinements to improve clarity and driver behaviour.
