Moving in Meadowbank
Meadowbank, in the City of Parramatta on the Parramatta River, is the corridor's other tower end: around 93% of its dwellings are units, clustered in the riverside apartment precinct that has grown up around the wharf, the station and the TAFE. Bowden Street, Meadow Crescent, Angas Street and Bay Drive are lined with mid and high-rise blocks looking over the water, so a Meadowbank move is almost always a lift-and-dock apartment job. We book the goods lift with building management, confirm the loading bay, protect the lift car and the shared lobby, and run the carry to the booked window. It is a frequent downsize landing spot — the riverside apartment with the ferry at the door — so plenty of our Meadowbank moves are bringing a sorted, lighter household in from a larger home elsewhere in the corridor.
Booking the goods lift and the loading dock
At the tower end of the corridor the move is governed by the building, not the street. There is a goods or service lift to book, usually for a set time window, a loading dock or shared load bay to use, and a building manager who needs notice and often a certificate of currency before the day. You cannot carry furniture up the passenger lift, so the whole job runs through the booked service lift and the dock. We confirm the lift booking and the bay with management ahead of time, pad the lift car and protect the shared lobby and corridors, and run the move to the clock so it fits the window. Book the lift early, because popular days and month-end fill fast. This is a frequent downsize destination — the low-maintenance apartment by the Metro or the river — so many of these moves are bringing a sorted, lighter household in from a larger home. Tell us the building and the floor and we will sort the access before move day.

Meadowbank removals: common questions
Do you move the riverside apartment towers in Meadowbank?
Constantly, it is nearly every Meadowbank move. The blocks along Bowden Street, Meadow Crescent and Bay Drive have a goods lift and loading bay, so we book the lift window with building management, confirm the bay, protect the lift car and lobby, and run the carry to the booked time.
We are downsizing into a Meadowbank apartment. What should we sort first?
Start with what fits: we measure the apartment's doorways and lift so the furniture you are keeping actually goes in, then help you decide what comes, what goes to family and what is stored. The downsizing planner sets out the weeks before, and we can bring the sorted, lighter household in from your larger home in one coordinated move.
Is parking a problem for a Meadowbank move?
Less than you would think, because the move runs through the building's loading bay rather than the street. We confirm the bay and the lift with management ahead of time so the truck has a place to sit and the carry is short. Where a block has only kerb access, we scout the closest safe spot first.
How much does a Meadowbank move 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), billed hourly from arrival, with a clear indicative quote up front for your specific move. On a downsize we can also quote the move-store-move together.
