From Central station you can catch any of the buses numbered: 422, 423, 426, 428, L23, L28 or M30 from bus stand C at Railway Square. Get off on the corner of City Road and Butlin Avenue, it’s a short 5 minute walk from here.
Or are you driving a car?
You can park outside ASA entrance to unload your belongings, unfortunately there is no parking at ASA and Residents are not eligible for street parking permits so you will have to arrange your own parking if you have a car. Street parking is limited to one hour.
If you arrive after hours please call the Evening Duty Manager on 0466 560 583 for assistance.
