The City of Stirling is one of Perth’s largest and most diverse local government areas, covering established suburbs like Innaloo and Balcatta through to the growing coastal corridor. A mix of 1960s brick-and-tile family homes, newer two-storey builds, and active apartment development in the Innaloo and Osborne Park precincts makes Stirling one of Perth’s busiest moving areas.
Stirling’s suburbs range from 1960s single-storey brick homes to modern two-storey builds and new apartment towers. Access requirements, stairwell dimensions, and furniture volumes vary significantly. We assess every property when quoting.
Innaloo and areas near the Karrinyup shopping precinct are seeing rapid apartment construction. New buildings often have tight lift access and body corporate rules that require advance coordination.
Karrinyup Road, Scarborough Beach Road, and Cedric Street all have peak-hour congestion and timed parking. We plan departure windows around these corridors for every Stirling booking.
Much of Stirling’s housing stock is large 4-bedroom brick homes with significant furniture loads — full garages, multiple bedroom sets, and large outdoor areas are common. Our 3-man option is available for the biggest jobs.

After thousands of moves through Stirling — these are the actions that make the biggest difference on move day.
1
Book early for end-of-month dates — Stirling is one of Perth’s busiest LGAs for residential settlements.
2
Check arterial road peak hours — Karrinyup Road and Scarborough Beach Road back up heavily 7–9am and 3:30–6pm.
3
Measure stairwells for two-storey homes — second-floor access in Stirling’s newer builds can be tight for large furniture.
4
Consider a 3-man team for large 4-bedroom homes — it keeps the day efficient and your final cost lower.
5
Disassemble large furniture the night before to save significant time on move day.
6
Arrange lift access 48 hours ahead if moving to a new apartment building in Innaloo or Osborne Park.
7
Pack the garage separately from the house — Stirling garages often add 1–2 hours to the total job.
8
Pack by room with clear labels — large family homes have high box volumes and labelling keeps everything organised.
9
Confirm body corporate move-in hours if moving to a new apartment building.
10
Have everything packed before your movers arrive — it’s the single biggest way to keep your final cost predictable.
