4. Policy statements
Accessibility and access
4.1 Staff and students living with a disability, medical or mental health condition and/or accessibility needs are supported at UTS in line with the Accessibility and Inclusion Policy.
4.2 Public and restricted spaces on campus must be readily accessible. Campus users must request the use of any public space (email security.general@uts.edu.au), including (but not limited to):
- motor vehicle (including motorcycle) parking or locking bicycles
- advertising, flyers, handouts or canvassing
- setting up of tables or benches for any purpose
- selling goods or food
- functions and/or consumption of alcohol.
4.3 If in doubt about the use of a public space, contact the Head of Security and Emergency Management (email security.general@uts.edu.au).
4.4 Security and Emergency Management will facilitate safe and unobstructed access to and exit from the campus and buildings. Any obstruction will be removed by Security and Emergency Management.
Active transport and lithium-ion batteries
4.5 UTS supports all modes of legal transport to access the campus. Bicycles and other wheeled transport equipment (including scooters, skateboards and skates) may be wheeled through the campus to designated racks or storage areas (refer Cycling: Bike parking around campus), but must not be used or ridden on campus due to their mixed use and for the safety of campus users.
4.6 Any bicycle, scooter or other wheeled transport equipment chained to posts, fencing, handrails or located in an unauthorised or undesignated area (or when parked in an otherwise obtrusive manner) will be removed. Where necessary, this removal will include breaking a lock or chain.
4.7 Electric scooters (e-scooters) are illegal in NSW and not permitted on campus (refer Transport for NSW: E-scooters).
4.8 Charging of lithium-ion batteries, commonly used for e-scooters, electric bicycles (e-bikes), electric mobility (e-mobility) scooters, self-balancing scooters (hoverboards) and other light electric vehicles (LEV), is prohibited on campus and inside all UTS buildings due to the high risk of overheating, fire and/or explosion.
4.9 If lithium-ion batteries are observed being charged on campus, and/or showing evidence of disrepair (bulging, leaking, cracks or other damage), this must be reported to the Head of Security and Emergency Management (via email security.general@uts.edu.au) and then lodged as an incident via the HIRO (Hazard and Incident Reporting Online) system.
Car parking
4.10 The Head of Security and Emergency Management allocates car parking spaces each year based on UTS’s business needs and strategic requirements (refer Parking (Staff Connect)). Parking spaces are allocated primarily for:
- UTS vehicles (for example, UTS-supplied vehicles or buses)
- special use (for example, accessible parking and contractors), and
- other use (for example, access to work outside of standard business hours).
4.11 Successful applicants will be provided with a UTS access card. Access cards are registered to, and authorised for use by, the specific driver and vehicle. Where the vehicle is owned by UTS, an access card is issued for the vehicle for use by an appropriately authorised staff member.
4.12 UTS parking rights and access may be transferable. This must be requested and approved in advance from the Head of Security and Emergency Management. Successful applicants will be notified in line with this policy.
4.13 Parking spaces are not allocated to prospective staff, or as part of a contract of employment, except where approved by the Director, Property in consultation with the Executive Director, People and Culture.
4.14 A UTS accessible parking permit will be issued to campus users who hold a current Mobility Parking Scheme (MPS) permit or Australian Disability Parking permit under the Australian Disability Parking Scheme (ADPS). Application details are available at Accessibility and inclusion: Accessible parking permits.
4.15 A UTS accessible parking permit, MPS permit and/or Australian Disability Parking permit must be displayed at all times when parked in a designated accessible parking bay. It is a breach of this policy, and the Accessibility and Inclusion Policy, to park in a designated accessible parking bay without an appropriate permit.
4.16 Requests for motorcycle parking should be made from a UTS staff email address to Security and Emergency Management (email security.general@uts.edu.au). Successful applicants will be notified via email and provided access via their UTS staff ID card.
4.17 Use of UTS car parks or parking spaces is at the drivers own risk. Drivers using any UTS parking must comply with all signage and pavement markings. Theft, loss or damage must be reported to Security and Emergency Management for investigation.
4.18 Security and Emergency Management are authorised to issue general penalty notices under the Self-Enforcing Infringement Notice Scheme (SEINS). These notices are subject to enforcement by relevant legislative bodies and processing by Revenue NSW.
4.19 Additional car parking spaces, outside the annual allocation, may be rented or otherwise procured in line with approved budget allocations, the Delegations and the Procurement Policy.
4.20 The Director, Property and the Head of Security and Emergency Management reserves the right to revoke parking access (temporarily or permanently).
Advertising, information and promotional materials
4.21 Staff and students may produce, distribute or communicate advertising, information and promotional material in compliance with this policy and the Equity, Inclusion and Respect Policy, the Academic Freedom and Freedom of Expression Policy, the Sustainability Policy, the Student Rights and Responsibilities Policy, the Code of Conduct and the Student Rules.
4.22 UTS has digital signage across its campus. Staff and students can submit a request to the Marketing and Communication Unit (MCU) to publish information on screens and digital signage (refer Digital signage (Staff Connect)).
4.23 Staff and students have access to official noticeboards and display areas across campus to advertise, communicate and promote material developed by staff and/or students, specifically for these audiences. The rules and conditions of use displayed on these noticeboards must be followed.
4.24 ActivateUTS owns and is responsible for the ActivateUTS campus noticeboards. These are used for ActivateUTS information and promotional purposes only.
4.25 Security and Emergency Management are authorised to remove:
- offensive, false, incorrect or misleading material, which will be managed by the Head of Security and Emergency Management as either a breach of this policy and/or a breach of other relevant policies as outlined in statement 4.18, or
- unofficial material published or positioned outside the official digital signage, screens, noticeboards or display areas, which may be considered a breach of this policy and/or a breach of other relevant policies.
4.26 Advertising by external parties is not permitted on campus unless it has been approved by the Director, Property.
4.27 Use of banners on buildings must be approved by the Director, Property (email facilities@uts.edu.au). The Director, Property may approve the placement of banners on building façades providing the banners are:
- for significant university-wide events or activities only
- displayed in authorised locations only
- displayed for a specified period of time and removed as soon as the event has ended, and
- not suspended or hung where they could in any way damage the building fabric or have the potential to cause damage.
4.28 Chalking of pathways is permitted only:
- on exterior campus footpaths (not under sheltered or covered areas, exterior walls or any interior surfaces)
- using water-soluble chalk (to allow rain to wash the pathways clean over time to minimise the potential for visual pollution)
- in line with the behavioural expectations of the university as outlined in this policy and other associated policies (refer principle 3.3).
4.29 Any costs associated with removal or damage of inappropriate material may be recovered from the people responsible for the display or advertising of such material.
Event approval
4.30 Public events generally carry a greater reputational and health and safety risk to the university and must be approved in advance in line with this policy.
4.31 Applications for public events (held physically or digitally) must be made via the event approval form. Public events must be requested by an identified event sponsor and have an identified event coordinator.
4.32 Private events do not normally require formal notification, however, where a private event is anticipated to run for more than 2 hours, an event approval form must be completed.
4.33 Events must be organised and run in line with this policy, the Facilities Hire Policy and any additional health and safety, accessibility, risk management or security requirements identified as part of the event approval process (refer Event management).
4.34 Requests for use of classrooms must be referred to room bookings (email room.bookings@uts.edu.au).
Filming and photography
4.35 Permission to undertake commercial filming or photography on campus must be approved by the Director, Property in consultation with the Manager, Facilities Hire and the Head of Security and Emergency Management. Requests that involve restricted spaces must be directed to the faculty manager or appropriate director for approval. A day rate will be negotiated as part of the agreement.
4.36 UTS will facilitate, where possible, filming and photography requests from UTS students for coursework or assignments. Fees will normally be waived for UTS student filming for coursework or assignments. Photography requests from students must be made in writing to MCU 2 weeks in advance (email events@uts.edu.au). MCU must consult with the Head of Security and Emergency Management regarding all on-campus filming requests made by UTS students.
Remotely piloted aircrafts
4.37 Operation and use of remotely piloted aircrafts (RPAs) or drones on or above a campus must be approved in advance by the Head of Security and Emergency Management (email security.general@uts.edu.au). The Filming with RPA at UTS checklist (available on request via email security.general@uts.edu.au) outlines a list of requirements and supporting documentation to be submitted as part of the formal approval.
4.38 The use of RPAs or drones on campus by an unlicensed/unauthorised person is strictly prohibited and may be reported to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) or other agency as appropriate. The use of RPAs and drones on campus for recreational purposes is also prohibited and will not be authorised.
4.39 Users of RPAs or drones (including external photography companies engaged for this purpose) must adhere to CASA’s guidelines and regulations. Unsafe or unauthorised RPA or drone use (for example, flying too close to people, taking photos of people without consent) should be reported to CASA (email RPAS@casa.gov.au) with sufficient evidence (photos or video recordings of the breach and the person controlling the drone at the time). Alternatively, these may be reported to Security and Emergency Management (email security.general@uts.edu.au) who will submit the report to CASA.
Alcohol on campus
4.40 Alcohol may only be served or consumed at public events that are approved via the event approval form (refer Event approval). The guidance for the service of alcohol at UTS form (available at Event management: Forms and documents) should be reviewed before submitting the event approval form.
4.41 Children are not permitted in licensed premises on campus. This will be enforced by the university. In line with the Liquor Act 2007 (NSW):
- alcohol must not be served or supplied to a child at any time, and
- a child must not obtain, consume or carry alcohol on campus.
4.42 Public events held at UTS licensed venues operate under their own liquor licences.
4.43 Alcohol may be consumed at private events without formal notification. Private event approval may be required in line with this policy.
4.44 Campus users must be aware that intoxication increases the risks to individual wellbeing as well as to other campus users, including but not limited to a greater risk of accident, harm and general poor judgement. Any person under the influence of alcohol is held to the same behavioural standards and expectations of all other campus users (refer principle 3.2).
Smoking and vaping
4.45 The Smoke-free Environment Act 2000 (NSW) prohibits smoking in any building or vehicle. Smoking is prohibited in areas where people are required to pass through smoke (entrances and exits), and/or which may allow smoke to enter the building.
4.46 Smoking and vaping are treated the same way at UTS. The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), also called vaping, is prohibited in any university building and/or in any university vehicle.
4.47 Smoking and vaping is only permitted on campus and student accommodation in clearly marked, designated smoking areas.
Illegal substances
4.48 Taking illegal substances on campus is forbidden. Any incident involving illegal substances must be reported to the Head of Security and Emergency Management and may be reported on student and staff records as a breach of this policy (refer Policy breaches).
4.49 The Head of Security and Emergency Management may:
- remove any person from campus found taking illegal substances
- record the incident as a case of student or staff misconduct, and/or
- inform the police.
4.50 Any person under the influence of an illegal substance is held to the same behavioural standards and expectations of all other campus users (refer principle 3.2).
Animals on campus
4.51 Assistance animals are permitted on campus in line with the Accessibility and Inclusion Policy.
4.52 Animals required for teaching and research activities (for example, rats or mice) are permitted on campus in line with UTS’s Animal care and ethics and health and safety requirements.
4.53 With the exception of statements 4.51 and 4.52, no other animal is permitted on campus without the prior written approval of the Head of Security and Emergency Management (email security.general@uts.edu.au). Unattended animals will be reported to the relevant local government authority for removal.
Demonstrations on campus
4.54 Demonstrations by staff and students are permitted on campus in line with this policy, the Academic Freedom and Freedom of Expression Policy and all relevant federal and state legislation or regulatory guidelines.
4.55 Staff and students may conduct demonstrations in public spaces on campus provided they:
- are orderly and peaceful and do not engage in harassment or intimidation
- do not unreasonably disrupt the business and operations of the university
- do not cause damage to UTS property or the property of other campus users
- do not unreasonably disrupt access to and from the university or impact accessibility, and
- do not disrupt, limit or prevent others from going about their normal business.
4.56 Demonstration organisers must notify Security and Emergency Management of the intention to hold a demonstration a minimum of 48 business hours before the demonstration (email security.general@uts.edu.au). This is to allow adequate time for a risk assessment to be undertaken and to manage the demonstrators’ request alongside other requests for the use of campus spaces and facilities for other approved purposes (for example, open days, student events or graduations).
4.57 Appropriate rooms and/or other suitable areas or sites on campus may be made available for demonstrations. This will allow Security and Emergency Management to put in place appropriate access and security measures, noting that demonstrators may themselves become the target of counterdemonstrators or threats.
4.58 Where a demonstration will be on or include spaces that are not on UTS campus, New South Wales and local government legislation requires that demonstration organisers provide notification and obtain authorisation from the NSW Police 7 days before the demonstration (via the Notice of intention to hold a public assembly form (PDF)). A copy of the completed form must also be provided to Security and Emergency Management 7 days before the demonstration.
4.59 Security and Emergency Management can take such measures as are reasonable in the circumstances to protect people or property from injury, damage, theft or misuse, and to ensure the requirements of the policy are met.
4.60 Staff and students must allow other groups in the UTS community to peacefully demonstrate without fear of retaliation or retribution. Staff and students who do not agree with protesting groups are not entitled to take action to prevent the expressing of those views. Under no circumstances should staff or students take it on themselves to ‘police’ any demonstration, protest or civil disturbance.
4.61 Demonstrators and counter demonstrators (or objectors) must act in accordance with the Equity, Inclusion and Respect Policy, the Student Rights and Responsibilities Policy and the Code of Conduct at all times.
Sleeping, napping and camping
4.62 Staff and students are provided with spaces to study, rest, socialise, eat and reflect (refer Student spaces on campus). Napping for a short period (normally up to one hour) between classes is permitted on campus, so long as the use of space is reasonable, safe and in line with this policy and other applicable policies.
4.63 While UTS acknowledges that rest is essential for wellbeing, sleeping, living or camping on campus (refer Definitions) is not permitted at any time and is a breach of this policy. This includes setting up beds or tents, the use of blankets, pillows or sleeping bags, moving furniture or other university property, or creating other living arrangements, temporary or permanent at any time of day or night. This does not apply to the appropriate use of UTS Housing by residents in line with the UTS Housing licence agreement, rules and the UTS Housing Handbook (refer Residential life).
4.64 Security and Emergency Management may approach staff and students who are resting, napping or sleeping to check identification or conduct welfare checks. This may occur to ensure the safety and security of all campus users.
4.65 Students may be referred to the Student Services Unit (refer Support), or an external support agency if Security and Emergency Management identify a welfare concern. Students with a health need in relation to resting and recuperating should contact the Accessibility Service. Staff should contact the People Unit. Further information is available in the Accessibility and Inclusion Policy.
Weapons on campus
4.66 Unlawful or prohibited weapons are forbidden on campus. It is an offence under the Firearms Act 1996 (NSW), the Weapons Prohibition Act 1998 (NSW) and the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) to possess or use prohibited weapons without authorisation.
4.67 Security and Emergency Management must be notified immediately if an unlawful or prohibited weapon is found, seen or in an individual’s possession on campus. The Head of Security and Emergency Management will:
- contact the NSW Police
- refer the breach of this policy to the relevant area (refer Policy breaches), and
- manage the situation in line with the Critical Incident Response Policy (where relevant).
4.68 Officers of the NSW Police Force and Australian Federal Police, members of the Australian Defence Forces and other people authorised by legislation are exempt from the university's prohibition on the possession of unlawful or prohibited weapons where the individual is on campus in relation to the performance of their official duties and is legally authorised to carry such weapons in the performance of their official duties.
Campus safety and security
4.69 Security and Emergency Management should be contacted where any individual or activity causes concern (refer Safety and security).
4.70 In situations of perceived or actual risk Security and Emergency Management are permitted to:
- initiate temporary restrictions or conditions on the movements of people to protect their safety and security and to manage critical or potentially critical incidents (refer Critical Incident Response Policy), and
- remove those in breach of this policy (or other UTS policies) from campus for the safety of the wider UTS community.
4.71 Dangerous activities are not permitted on campus. Any requirement to undertake a dangerous activity must be justifiable and undertaken for legitimate reasons (such as abseiling by professional window cleaners). The activity must be approved by the Director, Property (email facilities@uts.edu.au) and the necessary health and safety documentation and controls must be in place.
4.72 In addition to the provisions outlined in this policy, campus users who witness or are involved in an incident or near-miss incident should make a report as soon as possible via HIRO. Refer Incident response for more information.
Police assistance
4.73 The Head of Security and Emergency Management may seek assistance from the police where they reasonably believe that UTS staff or personnel (including security staff) are not in a position to manage a potential incident. In doing so, the Head of Security and Emergency Management accepts on behalf of UTS that the police will determine what level of assistance, if any, they can provide and the lawful measures they need to use to fulfil their responsibilities.
4.74 The Head of Security and Emergency Management must inform the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of any request for police assistance and inform the Vice-Chancellor of any significant incident including any injuries or damage.
4.75 In seeking assistance for the management of demonstrations or counter demonstrations, the Head of Security and Emergency Management should convey to the police the university’s commitment to free and respectful demonstrations in line with this policy (refer Demonstrations) and the requirements of the law.
Policy breaches
4.76 All potential breaches of this policy must be reported to the Head of Security and Emergency Management for decision by the COO and, where appropriate, the Vice-Chancellor.
