How much does parking cost at Westfield Geelong?

Rates as listed by Westfield on 9 November 2026. Both the standard and member rate tables carry the line “Park for free when you enter after 6pm”.
Who gets free parking?
Westfield members get up to two hours free on weekends and discounted rates on weekdays, as long as they have enrolled in the membership program through the Westfield app. Members can check their parking time in the app and set a 30-minute reminder on weekends, which needs a number plate on the member’s profile and location settings turned on. A member can get the two free hours more than once on a weekend, but to return on the same day there must be a 60-minute gap between exit and re-entry.
Customers with a disability or mobility parking permit get free parking for the first four hours when they show the permit at the Concierge Desk, according to Westfield. Our guide to accessible parking permits in Geelong explains the permit types.
How does ticketless parking work?
Westfield says the car parks use licence plate recognition, with no paper tickets. You do not stop at the entry to collect a ticket, because the system records your time of entry from your plate. Members can add payment details in the app and drive straight to the exit, where the boom gate opens automatically. Non-members, and members who prefer to pay in person, go to a pay station, enter their number plate and pay the fee.
Permanent parkers no longer have permanent parking cards. Westfield says they need to sign up for Westfield membership to get permanent parking rates, linked to their number plate in the app. The maximum height is 2.0 metres in all car parks.
Which car park entrance should I use?
Westfield names four street entrances and suggests a car park for some stores.
| Car park | Entrance | Nearest stores listed by Westfield |
|---|---|---|
| Moorabool Car Park | Moorabool Street | Myer; also listed as the best car park for the Food Court |
| Yarra Car Park (Myer Car Park) | Yarra Street | Myer |
| Malop Car Park (Big W Car Park) | Malop Street | Big W |
| Brougham Car Park | Brougham Street | Myer, Target, Concierge; also listed as the best car park for Coles |
Westfield’s “best parking” list says to enter via Brougham Street for Coles and Target, via Moorabool Street for Myer and the Food Court, and via Malop Street for Big W. It also says rooftop parking is available, entered off Yarra Street, Malop Street or Moorabool Street. Designated parents’ parking for people with prams is at the Moorabool Street, Brougham Street and Malop Street car parks. Westfield says the car parks can fill up very quickly.
When do the car parks open and close?
Westfield says the hours vary by car park.
| Car park | Monday to Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday and public holidays |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moorabool Street | 5:40am to 8:30pm | 5:40am to 10pm | 5:40am to 8:30pm | 5:40am to 8:30pm (Sunday) |
