O’Connor 2602: What Affects a Move Here

O’Connor is in Canberra’s inner north, about 3 km from the city centre. It’s surrounded by Turner, Lyneham, Bruce, Kaleen, Acton and Black Mountain, with the O’Connor Ridge nature reserve along one side. Most moves here start or end in another inner-north suburb.

• Older houses. Most homes were built decades ago. Some are former government homes, including the heritage-listed Tocumwal Houses moved here in the 1950s. Halls and doorways in older homes are often narrow.
• Walk-up flats. East of Sullivans Creek, much of the area was rebuilt with two and three-storey flats. Many have stairs only.
• Share houses and renters. More than 1 in 10 homes is a share house and almost 4 in 10 are rented, so many moves follow a lease end date.

Common Moving Problems in O’Connor and How We Handle Them

The couch is wider than the door. We measure first, take off the legs and angle the couch through. If it still won’t fit, we take apart what we can.

The flat has no lift. Walk-ups mean everything is carried by hand, so we send a bigger crew to keep the job moving.

Housemates’ things get mixed up. When a share house splits up, put names on boxes and furniture beforehand, and each person’s things go to the right address.

The new lease starts later. Your belongings can stay in our own storage facility until the new place is ready.

Boxes are too heavy for the stairs. Pack books and tins in small boxes instead of big ones.

Local Removalists in O’Connor: Our Removal Services

House Moves in Older Homes

Two-thirds of homes here are separate houses, and most have three or more bedrooms. A full house usually fits on our 8-tonne truck, or the 10-tonne truck if the garage is packed. Old doorways are narrow, so wardrobes and bed frames often come apart first, and every piece is wrapped in blankets before it’s lifted.

Walk-Up Flat Moves

Flats east of Sullivans Creek often have no lift. Getting a fridge or a bed base down two or three flights takes at least two movers and a slow, careful pace. Tell us your floor so we send the right size crew.

Furniture and Single Items

Our furniture removalist O’Connor service covers single pieces and part loads, such as a couch leaving a share house or a desk going to a new flat. Each item is wrapped, strapped down and placed where you want it.
