Moving in Eight Mile Plains
Eight Mile Plains has a strong townhouse presence. At the 2021 Census about two-thirds of homes were separate houses and roughly one in four were townhouses or semis, one of the higher shares among the suburbs we serve. About a third of homes were rented. For movers, that means a lot of complex moves, where driveways are narrow, garages are tight and visitor parking is limited. Hughesville, the timber homestead built in 1892 to 1893 on the corner of Logan and Padstow Roads, is a reminder that Logan Road was once the old Pacific Highway to the Gold Coast.
Townhouses, houses and two motorways
For townhouse complexes we'll usually recommend a smaller truck that can get inside and park close to your door. For houses, a larger truck is the efficient choice. Our trucks carry a walkboard (ramp), a hydraulic platform lift, or both. Being between the Gateway and Pacific Motorways makes Eight Mile Plains easy to reach and a good starting point for moves to the Gold Coast or north of the river.
Your nearest depot
We service Eight Mile Plains from our Mt Gravatt depot, about 10 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.
