Apartments and loading docks
Most moves in Bowen Hills are apartments, from studios to three-bedroom units in newer towers around the Showgrounds precinct. These buildings usually need a booked lift and loading dock. Book them early with your building manager, and we'll work to your time slot.
Smaller trucks for tight streets
Bowen Hills streets are steep in places and crowded, and many loading docks have low clearance. Our smaller trucks suit tight streets and loading zones, and they still carry a walkboard ramp, a hydraulic platform lift or both. See our trucks and equipment.
The home of the Ekka
The Royal Queensland Show, the Ekka, has been held at the Brisbane Showgrounds every August since 1876. During Ekka week, and during big events at the Showgrounds, roads around Gregory Terrace, Bowen Bridge Road and O'Connell Terrace get very busy. Avoid moving in Ekka week if you can, or tell us your dates so we can plan around road closures.
Close to our Eagle Farm depot
Our Eagle Farm depot is about 8 minutes' drive from Bowen Hills, using Lutwyche Road, the Inner City Bypass and Kingsford Smith Drive. We also move people in nearby Newstead, Herston and Fortitude Valley. Use the depot finder to see which depot is closest to both ends of your move.

How booking works
We charge by the hour, so you only pay for the time your move takes, and you stay in control of it: how much you pack before we arrive, how ready things are, and when you want us to finish. See how our hourly rates work. You'll get a booking confirmation email when you book and a reminder 48 hours before your move. Tap Confirm My Move in that email, or let us know about any changes.
