Parking

Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club uses a parking system that utilises number plate recognition technology to replace paper tickets. Read below to discover how the ticketless system works.

Non-NCYC Members will receive two (2) hours free parking per day.

How it works

1. Approach the boomgate at the main Clubhouse entry which will scan your license plate. If your visit is under two (2) hours, parking is free (once per day).
2. Drive to the exit, where the system will calculate your stay and charge if in excess of the two (2) free hour period, the boom gate will then open upon successful payment.

Monday to Sunday

You are entitled to two (2) hours free parking on your first entry into the car park. When returning to the car park in the same day you will not receive an additional two (2) hours on any subsequent entry in that same day. Days reset at 6:00am.

If our car park is full, or you want to look at alternative options close to the Club, see below:
