Big blocks on rolling ground

Templestowe sits 16 kilometres north-east of Melbourne’s CBD in the City of Manningham, where gentle, rolling hills extend from the Yarra River flood plains along Templestowe Road toward the Eastern Freeway. Most homes here sit on large blocks, but the land slopes in places and several forested gullies cut through the suburb, so driveways can drop away from the road or curve around trees. That terrain is what shapes the quote.

Our Templestowe removalists price every move by the hour once we see the volume and the access at both ends. Each truck carries a supervisor who plans the carry path, the wrapping and which pieces come apart. Beds, wardrobes and dining tables that need it are dismantled before loading and rebuilt once everything is inside the new house. Local rates start from $75 per half hour for a two-person crew and a 20 cubic metre truck, and the full list by truck size is on our removalist prices page.

Driveways and gullies along the Yarra

Templestowe is bordered by the Yarra River to the west, King Street and Victoria Street to the north and south, and Blackburn Road to the east. The streets near the river sit around 50 metres above sea level, and the slopes at the river’s edge can be steep. Properties in the gullies often have long, winding driveways, while houses along the higher ridges have broader, flatter access.

We ask about the driveway grade and any tight turns before sizing the job. Where a long truck cannot make it down, we send a shorter one or arrange the carry so the crew spends its time loading, not walking. A big Templestowe house usually means more furniture, so getting the truck right matters: too small and you pay for a second trip, too big and you pay for empty space.

Storage for a long Templestowe renovation

Large homes on big blocks often go through renovations that run for months, and the furniture has to go somewhere. We keep your load in a climate-controlled facility, monitored around the clock, and deliver when the builders are finished, whether that is six weeks or six months.

Furniture travels blanket-wrapped, plastic-covered and strapped in place, with public liability and transit insurance covering the move from door to door. If you want a packing team to handle the kitchen and wardrobes the day before, add it to the quote, or buy boxes, paper and tape and do it yourself. Interstate loads out of Templestowe reach the Eastern Freeway via Templestowe Road and connect to the major routes from there. You can book a full truck or share a backload and split the space.

Ready to move from Templestowe

Tell us where you are and where you are going, the number of rooms, any large items and the access details at both ends. We come back with an hourly rate and a truck recommendation. Use our calculator below to test the volume first. The quote is free and commits you to nothing.

The more that is done before we arrive, the fewer hours the job takes. Sealed boxes, empty drawers, a clear driveway and the garage open make a real difference on a big house. Call 1300 724 553 or fill in the contact form and we will get back to you.

How we handle the hills and big blocks

A supervisor on every job

One person on the truck owns the loading plan, from which items go on first to how the driveway carry runs, keeping the crew efficient all day.

Trucks in several sizes

We send the truck your driveway and load actually need, so you are not paying for empty space on a big truck or a second run with a small one.

Hourly rates, quoted first

You know the hourly rate and the truck before we arrive, because we quote after checking both addresses and the access.

Insured from door to door

Public liability and transit insurance on every move, so your furniture is covered for the full journey.

Moving along the Yarra River corridor

How do you handle the rolling hills along Templestowe Road?

We check the slope and the driveway gradient before quoting. On a sloping block we plan the carry so heavy items go on first and the crew works downhill to the truck where possible. A steeper driveway may need a shorter truck that can get closer to the house.

Can your trucks manage the steep slopes near the Yarra River?

Yes. Properties along the Yarra’s edge have some of the steepest ground in Templestowe. We match the truck to the driveway and plan the carry so the crew moves furniture safely. If the slope is too steep for the truck, we position it on the nearest flat ground and carry from there.

Which freeway do interstate loads use from Templestowe?

Templestowe Road runs to the Eastern Freeway, which connects to Melbourne’s main routes out of the city. Sydney and Canberra loads join the Hume, and Adelaide loads head west. You can book a full truck or share a backload and pay for the space your furniture takes up.

What if my property near the Yarra has a long winding driveway?

Tell us the length and any tight turns, and we choose a truck that fits. On properties in the forested gullies along the river, a shorter truck usually gets closer to the front door and saves carry time. We plan the path before the crew starts loading.

Do you move large furniture from Templestowe's bigger homes?

Yes. Templestowe has plenty of four- and five-bedroom houses on big blocks, and they carry more furniture than a standard suburban home. We match the truck to the volume and bring enough crew to keep the hours reasonable. Pianos and pool tables are quoted as their own line.
