The first 3 hours of parking at Westpoint Blacktown are free, and a $10 flat rate applies after 11pm for cars that entered after 8pm and leave before 5am. Seniors Card holders, Disability Parking Permit holders and Hoyts cinema patrons can get up to 5 free hours.
This guide uses Westpoint’s own location and parking page and Wilson Parking’s City Walk Car Park page, both read on 9 November 2026.
How does the free parking work?
Westpoint uses number plate recognition with paper tickets. Westpoint says to take a ticket on entry. If your visit is under 3 hours, parking is free and the boom gate opens automatically as you drive out. If you stay longer, go to a pay station, enter your number plate or insert your ticket and pay the fee. The exit then recognises the payment and opens the gate, or you can insert the ticket if it does not. You can also pay at the exit gate with a Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card.
The ticketed system accepts cash and credit cards only, and Westpoint displays conditions of entry throughout the car park.
What if I visit more than once in a day?
Westpoint says you still get 3 free hours on each visit as long as your visits are 60 minutes apart. If you re-enter in under 60 minutes, you are charged for the entire period you have parked.
Can I get more than 3 hours free?
| Who | Free time | How, according to Westpoint |
|---|---|---|
| Valid Disability Parking Permit or Seniors Card holder, one-off visit | First 5 hours | Take a ticket on entry, then have it validated at Customer Service on Level 3 near Strand during your visit |
| Disability or Seniors customer with a registered vehicle | Up to 5 hours a visit | No ticket on entry; the system reads your number plate and the gate opens within the free period; register through Customer Service |
| Hoyts patron | First 5 hours | Insert your parking ticket at an Auto Pay Machine or the exit gate and scan the parking barcode; this adds 2 hours to the 3 free hours |
Validation can only be applied to your first parking ticket of the day, and only once per visit. Westpoint says additional validation does not carry over to future visits. For the registered vehicle option, only one vehicle can be registered per customer, and stays over 5 hours are charged at standard rates for the extra time.
Where is the Hoyts barcode?
Westpoint says it is the second barcode at the bottom of your movie ticket, or the second barcode at the bottom of the Hoyts confirmation email if you have an electronic ticket. Hoyts validation only works after your first 3 free hours have been used up, and only on your first ticket of the day.
What if I get a ticket although my number plate is registered?
A ticket on entry means the system did not read your number plate. Westpoint asks you to tell the car park or Customer Service team as soon as possible, and the team will log your vehicle by hand so you are charged correctly.
Is there another car park next door?
Wilson Parking runs the City Walk Car Park at 8 Patrick Street, which it describes as an undercover extension to the existing Westpoint car park. The entry height is 2.10 metres. It offers monthly subscription parking with 24 hour access and is open all day, every day, including public holidays. Wilson Parking says to request a quote to subscribe.
