Moving Between Brisbane’s Northside and Southside? Plan It Right
🧭 Moving From Northside to Southside (or Vice Versa)? Here’s What You Need to Know

🛣️ Why These Moves Need Extra Planning
Suburb-to-suburb moves that cross the river often involve:
-
🚧 Traffic delays on key bridges (Story, Gateway, or Clem 7)
-
📍 Longer travel time billed per hour
-
🚛 Movers who charge extra for "off-zone" locations
-
🕐 Slower jobs due to longer distances or multiple stops
And if your mover’s depot is on the opposite side of the city, you might also pay a travel surcharge.
That’s why it pays to use a platform that lets you choose removalists near your pickup suburb — not just anyone in Brisbane.
💸 How to Save on Northside–Southside Moves
-
Choose a removalist based closest to your starting suburb
-
Avoid peak traffic hours (especially 7–9 AM and 4–6 PM)
-
Book midweek when rates are cheaper
-
Disassemble large furniture items ahead of time
-
Be clear on parking access at both ends
