From someone who moves Chatswood every week.
Residential streets in Chatswood require a Willoughby City Council parking permit for removalist trucks. Apply online at willoughby.nsw.gov.au at least 5 business days before your move. Popular dates fill during end-of-month periods — don’t leave it late.
Victoria Avenue and surrounding streets in Chatswood’s retail core experience heavy traffic between 10am and 6pm, especially on weekends. For properties near Westfield or Chatswood Chase, aim for a 7:30–8am weekday start to access the area before shopping traffic builds.
Chatswood’s newer apartment towers on Anderson Street and Pacific Highway have freight lift booking systems managed by building managers or strata. These slots — especially on weekends — fill weeks in advance. Book your lift at the same time you book your removalist.
Pacific Highway through Chatswood carries heavy northbound and southbound commuter traffic during peak hours (7:30–9:30am and 4:30–6:30pm). Plan your truck’s route and arrival to avoid this window — or use an alternative approach via Fullers Road or Mowbray Road.
