The City of Melville covers some of Perth’s most desirable southern addresses — Applecross, Ardross, Attadale, and Bicton along the Swan River foreshore, through to the established family streets of Melville and Palmyra. River-facing properties with premium values, large family homes with significant furniture loads, and active settlement activity make Melville one of Perth’s most consistent moving markets.
River foreshore premium properties
Applecross and Attadale’s river-facing homes are among Perth’s most valuable. Antiques, artwork, premium furniture, and large wardrobes are standard items. We handle these as a matter of course on every Melville booking.
Steep driveway grades
Riverside properties in Applecross and Bicton often have steep driveway approaches. We assess gradient and truck positioning at the quoting stage — no on-day surprises.
Large family home volumes
Melville’s established family suburbs contain 4–5 bedroom homes with substantial furniture loads. Our 3-man option is recommended for the largest homes to keep the day efficient.
High settlement volume
Melville is one of Perth’s most active property markets. Month-end settlement dates are particularly busy — booking 5–6 weeks ahead is recommended for end-of-month moves.

10 Tips for a Smooth Melville Move
After thousands of moves through Melville — these are the actions that make the biggest difference on move day.
1
Book 5–6 weeks ahead for end-of-month settlement dates — Melville fills up faster than almost any other Perth LGA.
2
Photograph river-view properties and high-value items before packing — useful for insurance and placement.
3
Book a 3-man team for 4+ bedroom Melville homes — it saves real money at the hourly rate.
4
Advise us of driveway grade at the quoting stage for Applecross and Attadale properties.
5
Disassemble large furniture the night before — large family homes benefit most from pre-disassembled pieces.
6
Pack the garage separately from house contents — Melville garages are often large and add meaningful time.
7
Use Hire A Packer for premium and fragile items, particularly for river-view homes with antiques or artwork.
8
Confirm settlement day access timing before the truck departs — WA settlements can run late.
9
Arrange for children and pets off-site on move day — large homes move faster without interruptions.
10
Have everything packed before your movers arrive — the single biggest way to keep your cost predictable.
