Moving in Auchenflower
At the 2021 Census more than half of Auchenflower's homes were flats or apartments, and about one in seven were in towers of nine storeys or more, many of them close to the river. The rest were mainly separate houses, often older timber homes on sloping blocks. Nearly half of homes were rented. Parts of the suburb flooded in January 2011, so lower riverside streets are worth checking on the council's Flood Awareness Map if you're buying or renting.
High-rise lifts and hillside carries
For riverside towers, we'll usually suggest a smaller truck that suits loading docks and short-stay bays, and we'll work around your building's lift booking. For houses up the hill, a larger truck can make sense if the street has room. Our trucks carry a walkboard (ramp), a hydraulic platform lift, or both, which matters on steep driveways. Let us know about parking, stairs and lifts at both addresses so we can match the truck to the job. Older houses up the hill often have steep front stairs, so we plan the carry carefully.
Your nearest depot
We service Auchenflower from our Indooroopilly depot, about 8 minutes away, so you get a local crew rather than a truck crossing the city. Not sure which depot is closest to you? Try our depot finder.
