Who moves on this lane.

Sydney → New Farm / Teneriffe

Inner-Brisbane apartment moves — usually 1-2 bed setups. Pacific Hwy traffic adds half a day vs SYD↔MEL. $1,950–$2,950.

Sydney → Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore, Noosa)

Common retiree route. The truck runs to Brisbane, then the last 100 km. That leg is $280 if your dates are flexible enough to catch a truck already heading up, or $540 if a truck goes out for a fixed date — so about $2,900 with ±1 week flexible dates, or $3,450 on a fixed date, for a 2-bed.

Lifestyle relocation lane. Transit can stop overnight in Brisbane depot. ~$2,950 for a 2-bed.

Tips for Sydney to Brisbane

01Mid-week pickups beat weekend ones — Friday/Saturday pickups face heavy holiday traffic on the Pacific Highway.
02Cyclone season (December-April) can cause weather delays in northern NSW. Build in a flex window if moving in those months.
03If you're heading further than Brisbane (Sunshine Coast / Gold Coast), tell us at quote — last-mile delivery is cheaper than re-booking a separate truck.
04Brisbane traffic peaks 7-9am and 4-6pm. Schedule arrivals outside those windows.

Pacific Highway flooding — what if it happens during my move?

When the Pacific Highway is closed (rare, but it happens 2-3x a year), loads are held in Sydney and delivered as soon as it reopens. No surcharge. We notify customers proactively.

Can I move to Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast directly?

Yes — a regional end adds a feeder leg the quote prices automatically: for the 100 km run to the Sunshine Coast that's $280 with ±1 week flexible dates or $540 on a fixed date. Further out it's quoted manually. Maroochydore, Noosa, Surfers, Burleigh all routine.

Is fruit/produce restricted on this lane?

Yes — NSW has biosecurity rules for fresh fruit and vegetables entering QLD. Don't pack pantry produce; finish it before pickup or gift it to a neighbour.
