Moving in Double Bay: what to plan
Most Double Bay homes are in apartment blocks, which changes where the truck stops. In the 2021 Census, 76.6% of homes here were flats or apartments (ABS).
The permit limit. Woollahra Council’s visitor permit excludes any vehicle over 3 tonnes, while our smallest truck is 4 tonnes. Businesses can’t hold one either (Woollahra Council).
Where the truck stands. In a loading zone, a truck gets 30 minutes at most, while it loads or unloads, unless a sign allows longer (NSW Road Rules). On Bay Street, north of William Street, the Council’s 2023 upgrade included reducing ten car parking spaces to widen the walking area (Woollahra Council).
So before quoting hours, we pin down the truck’s spot and how far it is from your door. Updated September 2026
How your move works, from quote to set-up
In a Double Bay apartment block, two things shape moving day: the lift rules, since every strata scheme writes its own by-laws, and the kerb, since the truck is too heavy for a Woollahra visitor permit. Here’s how the four steps handle both.

Removal services we offer
Every move gets the same plan: work out the access, protect every piece and quote the hours before we start. For a house or apartment, start with home removals and add packing and unpacking if you want the boxes done for you. White Glove Services cover the whole job, and furniture storage covers the gap between homes.
Removalists near Double Bay
Around Double Bay are Darling Point, Point Piper, Edgecliff and Woollahra, and we move homes in all four. They’re all in the Woollahra Council area, so a move between them runs under the same parking rules. We also work in Vaucluse and Rose Bay, Rushcutters Bay, Paddington, the rest of the Eastern Suburbs and right across Sydney, and our Oxford Street base is about 3 km away. For a shop or office, Commercial Removals are planned to keep the downtime short. Wherever you’re heading, the hours depend on the access at each address: the stairs, the lift and the walk from the truck. That is what your quote is built on.

Questions about moving in Double Bay
These answers cover what people ask before a Double Bay move: the Woollahra permit rules, loading zones, apartment lifts, truck sizes, and shop and office relocations. For anything else, phone 1300 849 121 or add your question to your free quote request.
No. Woollahra Council’s permit conditions say the visitor permit “is not valid for use on a caravan, box trailer, boat trailer or any vehicle which exceeds 3 tonnes”, and our trucks are 4, 6 or 9 tonnes. So we plan the truck around a loading zone, the building’s dock or an unrestricted space near your door, then quote the hours.
Thirty minutes, and only for loading or unloading, unless the sign allows longer (NSW Road Rules, rule 179). Emptying an apartment takes more than half an hour, so we look for a second legal spot close by and time the switch. Tell us which street your building faces, and which entrance you use, when you request the quote.
Yes. Commercial Removals move offices and shops in Double Bay, planned so the business is back at work quickly. A business can’t use a Woollahra visitor permit: the Council’s conditions say “Businesses, non-resident owners, short stay residents and hotel guests are not entitled”. So we build the plan around loading zones and your building’s dock and lift bookings.
Book the lift, and the dock if your building has one. Strata by-laws set the rules, and they differ from scheme to scheme (NSW Government), so yours may fix moving hours or ask for lift padding. Check with your building manager, then send us the booked times with your quote request, and the crew will work inside them.
It depends on what’s moving, and your quote recommends one. In the 2021 Census, 47.5% of Double Bay homes had two bedrooms and 30.9% had three (ABS). Our 4 tonne truck suits one or two bedrooms, and the 6 tonne packages suit medium homes. A third mover helps when the carry from the truck to your door is long.
About 3 km. By Google Maps, Double Bay is 3.1 km from our Darlinghurst base on Oxford Street, following New South Head Road. For a bigger apartment or an office, you can book a virtual quote, where you pick a time and your Personal Move Manager reviews the move with you in detail. Or phone 1300 849 121 first.
Your free quote sets out the rate and the hours before we start, based on what’s moving and the access at both addresses. For a bigger or more complex move, book a virtual quote: pick a time, and your Personal Move Manager goes through the move with you for a more detailed quote. It’s open to anyone.
Packing is quoted separately, so you choose whether the crew packs for you. If it does, the packing time and any materials, such as boxes, paper, tape and bubble wrap, are listed in your quote. Furniture and appliances are wrapped for the move at no extra charge.
Yes. Furniture Storage is weatherproof, with short and long stays in Sydney and Melbourne. It suits a gap between moving out and moving in, or a renovation. Tell us your dates when you ask for a quote and we’ll include the storage in it.
