Your Local City of Perth Removalists

Local Expertise Since 2016 · Data sources: ABS Census 2021 · WA Planning · ID Community

Perth’s CBD is a high-rise apartment environment with some of the most complex removalist logistics in WA. Loading dock windows, freight lift bookings, body corporate restrictions, and CBD parking regulations all require experienced coordination — starting well before move day.

Loading dock time windows

Most City of Perth towers have a single goods lift and shared loading dock. Windows are often capped at 2–4 hours and require booking 48–72 hours ahead via the building manager. We manage this coordination for every CBD booking.

CBD parking restrictions

The City of Perth has no on-street parking for removal trucks. Loading dock access or a council parking suspension zone is required for every street-facing property. We advise on the right approach when quoting.

High-rise floor access

Upper-floor apartments in the CBD require freight lift and swipe-card coordination. Some towers restrict moves to weekdays only. We confirm all access requirements before your move date.

Security and intercom management

Perth CBD apartment buildings have tight security — swipe card access, intercom clearance, and building manager sign-off are standard. We coordinate all of this so you don’t have to chase it on move day.

10 Tips for a Smooth City of Perth Move

After thousands of moves through City of Perth — these are the actions that make the biggest difference on move day.

Book your building’s loading dock and freight lift as soon as your move date is confirmed — CBD towers fill fast.

Contact your building manager or strata manager at least 72 hours before move day to confirm your access window.

Find out if your building requires a refundable damage deposit before movers enter — many Perth CBD towers do.

Check your body corporate rules — most City of Perth towers restrict moves to weekdays between 8am and 4pm.

Measure your apartment’s goods lift dimensions before booking — sofa widths and wardrobe heights need to fit the freight lift.

Pack by room with clear labels — CBD apartments have compact floor plans and labelled boxes keep the job efficient.

Disassemble all large furniture the night before — less disassembly time means more of your dock window is used for moving.

Use Hire A Packer the day before your move — arriving with everything packed is essential in tight dock time windows.

Declutter before your move — CBD apartments are typically compact and moving only what you need saves real money.

Have everything packed and sealed before your movers arrive — dock windows leave zero room for delays.
