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. $2,000–$3,050.

Sydney → Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore, Noosa)

Common retiree route. We run 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 $500 if we send one for a fixed date — so about $3,335–3,555 all-up for a 2-bed.

Sydney → Gold Coast (Surfers, Burleigh)

Lifestyle relocation lane. Transit can stop overnight in Brisbane depot. ~$3,055 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), we hold loads at the SYD depot and deliver as soon as it reopens. No surcharge. We notify customers proactively.

Can I move to Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast directly?

Yes — last-mile delivery to anywhere within 150km of Brisbane is a flat $120 add-on. Beyond that, 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.
