Melbourne’s unique layout, tram network, and permit rules can catch movers off guard. Here’s what you need to know.
01
Book Parking Permits Early
Inner suburbs like Fitzroy, Collingwood, Richmond, and Carlton have restricted parking. Apply to the City of Melbourne or your local council for a temporary parking permit at least 5–7 business days ahead.
02
Watch Out for Tram Lines
Melbourne’s tram network can restrict where removal trucks park. Routes like Brunswick Street, Smith Street, and Chapel Street have limited stopping zones. Your mover will need to plan access carefully.
03
Avoid Peak Hour Traffic
CityLink, the West Gate Freeway, and Monash Freeway are heavily congested during 7:30–9:00 AM and 4:00–6:30 PM. Schedule your start time at 7:00 AM or 10:00 AM for the smoothest move.
04
Apartment Buildings — Book the Lift
Docklands, Southbank, and Melbourne CBD apartments often require you to book a moving lift slot and loading dock in advance. Contact your building manager at least one week before moving day.
05
End-of-Month & EOFY Rush
The last 3 days of each month and end of financial year (June) are Melbourne’s busiest moving days. Book your removalist at least 3–4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time.
06
Get Moving Insurance
All True Load movers carry basic transit cover. For electronics, antiques, or artwork, ask about additional coverage. Read our insurance guide →
