Moving in Fairfield
Fairfield is mainly residential, with a mix of houses and units. At the 2021 Census about six in ten homes were separate houses and just under three in ten were flats or apartments. About four in ten homes were rented. Parts of Fairfield flooded in 1974 and again in January 2011, so if you're moving into a low-lying street near the river, check the address on the council's Flood Awareness Map. With the Beenleigh railway line on one side and the river on the other, Fairfield's streets are quiet and residential, and it's worth telling us whether the truck can pull up out the front or needs to stop further along.
Houses and units in a compact suburb
Because Fairfield is compact and residential, we look at each address on its own. For units and tighter streets, a smaller truck is usually easier. For family homes, a larger truck can save time. Our trucks carry a walkboard (ramp), a hydraulic platform lift, or both. Let us know about stairs, lifts and parking at both ends.
Your nearest depot
Our Mt Gravatt depot is about 12 minutes from Fairfield, so our crews know the local streets and can be with you early in the day. Not sure which depot is closest to you? Try our depot finder.
