What a Sydney to Canberra move involves

  • The routeIt is about 290 km by road. The truck heads south west on the Hume Highway, then takes the Federal Highway past Lake George into Canberra. It is a shorter interstate run than most, but it still needs a proper plan for loading, the drive and delivery.
  • Why a planned date mattersCanberra moves often follow a new job, a posting or the start of a school term. A fixed date lets us plan the crew and truck, and lets you line up keys, leases and settlement. We give you the timing with your quote.
  • Packing and loadingFull or partial packing, with cartons and wrapping for fragile items. Canberra winters are cold and frosty, so for a winter move clear the paths early and keep what you need for the first night in one marked carton.
  • Storage if the dates do not line upIf you have to leave one place before the other is ready, we hold your goods in secure storage, short or long term, and deliver when you are ready. It goes on the same price. See Storage.
  • One price up front, before you bookPacking, loading, the drive, delivery and placing in one price. What drives it: how much you are moving, how much packing you want, access at each end and any storage. If something cannot be known yet, we tell you before you book, not on the invoice.

Access in Sydney

Leaving Sydney for Canberra, or coming the other way, the Sydney end is often the tighter one. Plan for:

  • Lift and loading dock bookings with your building manager or strata
  • Parking for the truck, which some councils ask you to arrange with a permit
  • Stairs, steep driveways and narrow terrace streets, so we bring the right crew
  • Key handover and building access times at the old and new place

Access in Canberra

Canberra suburbs are mostly houses on wide streets, with more apartments now in the town centres and along the light rail. Plan for:

  • Long driveways and split level homes, so we know how far there is to carry
  • Lift and loading bay bookings in newer apartment buildings
  • Parking in town centres, where the truck may need a permit or a booked space
  • Key handover times at both properties

Questions

Is a Sydney to Canberra move an interstate move?

Yes. Canberra is in the ACT, so it is an interstate move. We book and price it the same way as our other interstate removals: one price up front, before you book.

How long does a Sydney to Canberra move take?

It depends on the date, the access and how much is moving. We give you the timing with your quote.

Can you move just a few rooms?

Yes. Tell us what is moving, a few rooms or a whole house, and we price that. Partial packing is there too if you would rather pack some yourself.

Can you move me from Canberra to Sydney?

Yes. We move in both directions the same way, packed, loaded, driven and placed room by room.

Are my goods insured on the way?

We are insured worldwide. Transit insurance is available on request and quoted separately. Ask us for the details of the cover for your move.
