What Bankstown homes look like, and why it matters on moving day

The 2021 Census paints a clear picture of the suburb. Bankstown is a unit suburb first and a house suburb second, which is the reverse of New South Wales as a whole.

Occupied private dwellings, 2021 Census	Bankstown	New South Wales
Flats or apartments	58.5%	21.7%
Separate houses	30.0%	65.6%
Semi detached, terrace or townhouse	10.1%	11.7%
Two bedroom homes	49.4%	22.7%
Four or more bedrooms	17.8%	33.9%
Rented	50.4%	32.6%
Average people per household	2.9	2.6

Nearly six in ten Bankstown homes are flats or apartments, close to three times the state share, and almost half have two bedrooms. Half of all households rent. For a removalist, that shifts where the hours go: into lifts, stairwells, common corridors and the walk from the loading spot, more than into sheer volume. Households are also a little larger than the state average, 2.9 people against 2.6, so a two bedroom unit here can hold more furniture than the floor plan suggests. We ask about all of this when we quote.

Removalists Bankstown unit owners and renters can plan around

Strata notice and the lift

Moving through the foyer and lift of a strata block is not just a matter of turning up. Under model by-law 13 of the Strata Schemes Management Regulation 2016, furniture and large objects may only be carried through common property once the strata committee has had enough notice to send its nominee along. Your building may run its own version of that rule, so ask the strata manager early, book the lift if there is one, and send us the window you are given. We plan the crew start time around it.

Walk up blocks

If your block has no lift, tell us the floor and whether the stairs turn tightly, because large staircases are one of the things that can add cost on a fixed price job. We raise that before moving day, not on it.

Clearing out before you go

Moving less takes less time. Canterbury-Bankstown Council’s bulky waste clean-up gives each property at least two free clean-ups a year, but if you live in a building with six or more units, only the building manager, strata manager or an authorised strata committee member can book it. Council also notes a usual waiting period of two to six weeks, so start the conversation with your strata manager as soon as you know your moving date.

Removalists Bankstown: which truck suits your move

We run seven published truck sizes and pick one to suit the job first, so your move finishes in a single trip instead of repeat runs.

Bankstown home	Truck we would usually start from	Why
One or two bedroom unit	4 to 5 tonne truck	Carries 20 to 25 cubic metres and is built for apartments and small moves.
Larger unit, townhouse or three bedroom house	A mid size truck such as the 8 to 9 tonne	Our fleet also includes 6 to 7 tonne, 10 to 12 tonne, 50 cubic metre and 55 to 60 cubic metre trucks; we choose from your inventory.
Big family home or a large office	65 to 70 cubic metre truck	Our largest, suited to a six bedroom home, and crewed by two professional removalists.

Getting the truck close to your door in Bankstown

Street space is often tighter around unit blocks than outside a house. A few rules shape where we can stop:

• Yellow kerb lines. On its roads and parking page, Canterbury-Bankstown Council says it has begun using unbroken yellow lines along the kerb to mark No Stopping zones. We cannot load from those.
• Driveways. Council is clear that no part of a vehicle can be on or across a driveway, and that this applies to your own driveway too. Moving your cars off the street the night before usually frees legal space beside it.
• The one hour limit. NSW Road Rules rule 200 limits heavy and long vehicles to one hour on a road in a built-up area, but a driver may stay longer while dropping off or picking up goods. A removal truck working at your address is doing exactly that.

If the closest legal spot is well away from your entrance, let us know at the quote. A long carry adds time, and on a fixed price move we flag it in advance.

Bankstown removals: houses, furniture and offices

House removals

Around three in ten Bankstown homes are separate houses, and nearly one in five has four or more bedrooms. Those jobs need more boxes, more crew time and usually a bigger truck. Our home removals service covers the whole house, with boxes labelled by room going straight into the matching room at the new address.

Furniture removals

For couches, dining settings, beds and wardrobes, the crew brings dollies, trolleys, blankets, straps and ropes. Mattresses are shrink wrapped free when you book. Upright pianos are moved by our standard removals team, and antiques and fine art are a separate service line. See furniture removals for more.

Offices and shops

Bankstown is the administrative centre of the City of Canterbury-Bankstown, and the businesses based here cannot stop trading for a day just to move. Our office removals team can work after hours, overnight or on a Sunday, dismantling and reassembling furniture and packing and archiving files.

Packing, storage and cover

• Our packing team can do one room, only the breakables, or the whole home. Read our guide to packing services in Sydney to decide how much to hand over.
• Tea chests, crystal boxes and port a robes are sold through our moving box shop.
• Between leases? Modular storage starts at 10 cubic metres, with the box packed at your door and taken to a facility under constant surveillance.
• Removals insurance is optional: restricted cover or full cover, on a market value or replacement basis.

How we quote removals in Bankstown

Local moves are charged by the hour. That rate covers the removalists, a fully equipped truck, moving equipment, plastic mattress wrapping and insurance, and if the job runs past the estimate it continues at the same agreed rate, not a penalty rate. If you would rather know the total up front, we can give a fixed price once your inventory, access and move details are known, either on the phone or after a quick on site or virtual survey.

Within Sydney, the call out covers travel time based on distance from our Greenacre depot, so a Bankstown address carries less travel time than one on the far side of the city. Booking a weekday tends to mean more choice of dates than a weekend or peak date, and we offer a reduced rate when the crew starts in a mid day window, either 11:00 to 14:00 or 12:00 to 15:00. Our online moving calculator is open around the clock, and our breakdown of removalist costs in Sydney explains every factor in detail.

How your Bankstown move works

1. Quote. Use the calculator or call 1300 883 117. Mention the floor, the lift, the stairs and anything heavy.
2. Survey or phone check. For a fixed price we confirm the inventory over the phone or with a short on site or virtual survey.
3. Booking. We lock in the truck size, the crew and the start time that fits your strata window.
4. Moving day. The crew wraps and protects your furniture, loads in one trip and keeps the common areas clear.
5. Unpack. Labelled boxes go into the right rooms, and any unpacking you booked starts straight away.

Bankstown removalists: frequently asked questions

How much notice does my strata need before I move out of a Bankstown unit?

Under the model by-laws, you must give the strata committee enough notice to arrange for its nominee to be present when furniture moves through common property. Check your own building’s by-laws, book the lift if there is one, and tell us the time window you are given.

Is your depot close to Bankstown?

Yes. Our depot is in Greenacre, close to Bankstown. Within Sydney the call out covers travel time based on distance from the depot.

Do you charge by the hour or a fixed price for a Bankstown move?

Either. Local moves are charged at an hourly rate, and we can quote a fixed price once your inventory, access and move details are known, by phone or after a quick on site or virtual survey.

Can the truck park outside my apartment block?

Usually, as long as there is legal kerb space. We cannot load from a No Stopping zone or across a driveway, so move your cars off the street the night before and tell us about any long carry when you quote.

Do you move offices and shops in Bankstown?

Yes. Office relocations can run after hours, overnight or on a Sunday, and the team dismantles and reassembles furniture and packs and archives files.

Can you pack my unit before the move?

Yes. Our packing team can pack one room, just the breakables or the whole home, and boxes are labelled by room so they land in the right place.

Do you also cover suburbs near Bankstown?

Yes. We move households across South West Sydney, including Revesby, Bass Hill, Regents Park, Belfield, Milperra, Narwee, Birrong and Yagoona.
