Vehicle Access Management
All commercial vehicle access will be managed through Sunshine Coast Airport’s vehicle access management system, implemented in partnership with UbiPark.
The new access management system will go live in early December (exact date to be confirmed) for Private Transfer operators, Bus/Shuttle operators and Tenants/Contractors with staff parking requirements.
Private Transfer operators, Bus/Shuttle operators and Tenants/ Contractors with staff parking requirements must register by November 28th, 2025, to maintain access.
The new access management system will go live in the second half of January for taxi drivers (exact date to be confirmed).
Taxi Drivers need to register by January 9th, 2026, to maintain access.
The vehicle access management system provides a more seamless experience for all of our ground transport partners, tenants and contractors.

Taxi Drivers
QR Code Access – the method of access is via a QR code specific to each taxi driver.
Digital Wallet (Pay-As-You-Go) – taxi drivers can choose to top up their digital wallet manually or configure their digital wallet for automatic recharge via credit card.
Steps to register
Driver clicks the taxi registration link below.
Application is automatically approved.
Driver sets up their digital wallet, choosing either manual or automatic top-up.
Driver downloads and saves their personal QR code from the dashboard.
QR code is scanned at the gate upon exit, automatically deducting the pick-up fee from the digital wallet.
Even though the system does not go live until the second half of January 2026, it is best for drivers to get registered as soon as possible to ensure a seamless switch over with no loss of access to the commercial lanes.
Private Transfer Vehicles
Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) – the primary method of access will be via Licence Plate Recognition linked to your registered credentials instead of a physical GTO permit. If your vehicle licence plate is registered the barrier should open automatically.
QR Code Back-up – QR codes will serve as a back-up method of access should the barrier system not recognise the licence plate and automatically open.
Digital Wallet (Pay-As-You-Go) or Prepaid Options – Private transfer operators may choose between Digital Wallet (PAYG) – wallets can be topped up manually or configured for automatic recharge via credit card – or Prepaid Permits – for operators who prefer prepaid access over a fixed-term (1, 3, 6, or 12-month durations).
Note: if you have already paid for the October to December period, there will be no additional fee for December. However, you still need to register.
Once your application has been reviewed and approved by Sunshine Coast Airport, you will receive an email about setting up your preferred payment method and licence plate details for all vehicles.
All payment methods are processed through the access management platform ensuring consistent reconciliation, transparent reporting, and alignment with Sunshine Coast Airport’s commercial arrangements.
Approved vehicles are immediately activated for access via LPR (primary) or QR code (back-up).
Bus / Shuttle Vehicles
Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) – the primary method of access will be via Licence Plate Recognition linked to your registered credentials instead of a physical card access system.

The company administrator can then:
– Add, update, or remove vehicle licence plates.
– Manage billing through a digital wallet or monthly invoicing.
All payment methods are processed through the access management platform, ensuring consistent reconciliation, transparent reporting, and alignment with Sunshine Coast Airport’s commercial arrangements.

Tenant, Staff and Contractor Parking
Each tenancy will be managed by a delegated Tenancy Administrator (at your company).
Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) – the primary method of access will be via Licence Plate Recognition linked to your registered credentials instead of a physical card access system.
QR Code Back-up – QR codes will serve as a back-up method of access should the barrier system not recognise the licence plate and automatically open.
Steps:
Your company’s Tenancy Administrator has been provided with a unique registration link specific to your company. They provide this link to their staff.
Staff member completes the registration form, confirming vehicle details.
Application is sent to the Tenancy Administrator for review and approval.
Once approved:
Staff are added to the company’s tenancy group.
Their vehicles are activated for LPR (primary) and QR (backup) access.
The tenancy administrator and SCA can view all user movements, access history, and reports for their group.
SCA Finance issues a consolidated monthly invoice in arrears to the company, covering all usage under that tenancy, if this is the chosen payment option.
All payment methods are processed through the access management platform, ensuring consistent reconciliation, transparent reporting, and alignment with Sunshine Coast Airport’s commercial arrangements.
