Narrow streets and tight parking
Many New Farm streets are narrow, lined with parked cars and often under parking restrictions. We look at where a truck can safely stand before the day, and we'll let you know if a parking permit or a space held near the front door would help. Large crews mean shorter carries take less time, even when the truck can't stop right outside.
Walk-ups, character homes and riverside towers
Older unit blocks in New Farm often have narrow internal stairs and no lift, so sofas, fridges and beds need careful handling. Character homes and Queenslanders bring high stairs and tight hallways. Riverfront apartment developments usually need a lift and loading dock booking through building management. Tell us what your building requires and we'll work within its move-in times. Our modern trucks carry ramps and hydraulic lifts, and our packing and unpacking service protects fragile items for tight spaces.
Local knowledge around Brunswick Street and Merthyr Road
Brunswick Street is New Farm's main corridor, running from Fortitude Valley down to New Farm Park and the Brisbane Powerhouse, while Merthyr Road is home to Merthyr Village shopping. From there, Teneriffe, Fortitude Valley and the CBD are minutes away. Our Bulimba depot is the closest, just across the river, and our Eagle Farm depot is a short drive away too.
Moving tips for New Farm
- Avoid park event days. New Farm Park and the Powerhouse draw big crowds on weekends and event days, which fills nearby streets. If your move is close by, tell us so we can time it around them.
- Tree-lined streets look great, but low branches and tight kerbs can limit where a large truck can stand. We'll check before move day.
- Measure stairwells in older character unit blocks. Big sofas and fridges may need to be stood on end or dismantled.
- Book early for riverfront buildings. Popular buildings often fill their lift slots weeks ahead, especially at the end of the month.

FAQs
Can you move me out of a walk-up unit with no lift?
Yes. We send enough people to carry safely and plan for stairs when quoting.
My building needs a loading dock booking – can you work with that?
Yes. Tell us the booked time and any building rules and we'll plan around it.
Is parking a problem in New Farm?
It can be, since parking and traffic are often tight. We'll talk through options before move day so the truck can stand as close as possible.
Do you pack fragile items?
Yes, see packing and unpacking.
