If you wish to stay on before or after your shift to do some shopping, Eastland management has offered volunteers who book in for 2 or more sessions, all day parking in their staff carpark on level 4 at a rate of $4 per day. During the registration process, your car registration details will be requested to allow parking in the staff car park. These details will be forwarded to the Eastland centre management.
