Moving in Oxley
Oxley is mostly family houses. At the 2021 Census about eight in ten homes were separate houses and around one in six were townhouses or semis, including newer estates built on former brickworks and quarry land around Douglas Street. The eastern side is shaped by flood plains that see major and flash flooding, and the 2011 floods inundated properties along Oxley Road, Blunder Road and the Ipswich Motorway. If you're buying or renting, check the address on the council's Flood Awareness Map first.
Motorway access and estate streets
Being right on the Ipswich Motorway makes Oxley easy to reach, and most houses suit a larger truck. Newer estates and townhouse complexes can have narrow streets and limited visitor parking, so a smaller truck may be easier there. Our trucks carry a walkboard (ramp), a hydraulic platform lift, or both. If you're moving towards Ipswich or Springfield, the motorway makes for a straightforward run outside peak times.
Your nearest depot
Oxley is about 12 minutes from our Indooroopilly depot. That short trip means an early start and no long wait for the truck. Not sure which depot is closest to you? Try our depot finder.
