Maribyrnong pairs older period pockets with a large modern layer: the Edgewater estate of townhouses and apartments, built from 2001 on the former Colonial Ammunition Factory land along the river, sits beside one of Australia’s largest shopping centres at Highpoint. That means a lot of Maribyrnong moves are estate moves, with internal roads, shared driveways, stairs and sometimes lift access, set against real traffic on Rosamond, Raleigh and Williamson Roads around the centre and its multi-level car parks. Trams 82 and 57 both touch the suburb and share track on Maribyrnong and Raleigh Roads. We plan the truck position and the carry around the estate layout and the Highpoint congestion, so a busy precinct does not turn into a slow move day.
Every Maribyrnong move starts with the access, because that decides the truck, the crew and the carry. Here is what we plan around:
- The riverside Edgewater estate (townhouses and apartments, built 2001) sits beside period pockets
- Estate moves mean internal roads, shared driveways, stairs and sometimes a lift
- Highpoint traffic on Rosamond, Raleigh and Williamson Roads, plus multi-level car parks, to time around
- Trams 82 and 57 share track on Maribyrnong and Raleigh Roads
We know streets like Cordite Avenue, Van Ness Avenue, Raleigh Road and the access that comes with them. Send your pickup and drop-off addresses with your quote and we will tell you exactly how we would handle the street, the carry and any lift, stairs or rear lane.

Maribyrnong, like its neighbours, has no dedicated removalist permit. Where a move genuinely needs reserved kerb space, the instrument is a road-occupation permit for works within the road reserve, which generally needs around ten business days notice and must leave room for traffic to pass, and any fees are confirmed directly with the council. For most moves we simply scout and time a legal loading spot in advance instead. The real Maribyrnong access question is rarely the permit anyway: it is the single-fronted cottage street with no off-street parking, the rear right-of-way behind it, the freight lift in a Footscray conversion or tower, or the shared driveway and turning stairs of a riverside estate townhouse. We plan all of that into the quote so the day has no surprises.
I am moving in the Edgewater estate by the river. How do you manage it?
Edgewater is townhouses and apartments on the former ammunition-factory land, so we plan the internal road, the shared driveway and whether your home has stairs or a lift, and position the truck where it can work without blocking the estate. It is a normal move for us, planned rather than improvised.
Does Highpoint traffic affect a Maribyrnong move?
It can. Rosamond, Raleigh and Williamson Roads get busy around the centre and its multi-level car parks, so we time the truck around the peaks and scout a legal loading spot rather than getting caught in the shopping-centre crush.
Can you move from an apartment with a lift here?
Yes. We confirm the lift booking and any loading bay with building management before the day and bring the trolleys and crew to suit, so the lift window is used efficiently.
How much does a move in Maribyrnong cost?
Our online-quote rates start at $200/hour for two movers and a truck ($250 for three, $400 for a larger crew with two trucks), and you get a clear indicative quote up front for your specific move. No surprises on the day.
