Staff Car Park

Signed “Staff Car Park” opposite T1

The Staff Car Park at Hobart International Airport sits on the terminal side of the airfield, signed specifically for airport and airline staff working around T1. It appears on airport maps as a restricted-use car park, separate from public options like the main terminal parking and pickup zones.

This facility is a staff-only area, not a public parking option for passengers flying in or out of Hobart (HBA). Access is controlled by airport operations, typically through permits or staff ID, and casual drive-up parking for travellers is not offered here at any price point. If you’re holding a boarding pass but not an airport ID, this isn’t your spot.

The Staff Car Park sits within a short walking distance of the single passenger terminal, T1, which handles both domestic and international flights. The location works for ground crew and terminal staff who might be arriving for early shifts, but it is not marked on public booking platforms alongside the main and overflow public car parks.

For travellers, the practical move is to head to the main public car park signed “Airport Parking” near T1, rather than following any internal staff signage. Hobart Airport’s public car parks support standard drop-off and longer stays, while the Staff Car Park remains reserved for employees under airport access rules.

Tip: If your GPS directs you toward the Staff Car Park at HBA, ignore it and follow the posted “Public Parking” signs for the main terminal instead; this keeps you out of restricted staff-only zones and avoids being turned around by security.
