Removalists in Cremorne Point

Cremorne Point is a narrow finger of land reaching out between Mosman Bay and Shell Cove, and its geography makes for a very particular move. There is essentially one road in and out along the point, Cremorne Road running down to Milson Road, so the truck comes and goes the same way and there is no quick detour if the kerb is taken. Many of the period apartment blocks and homes step down from the road toward the harbour, and a good number of the foreshore-side frontages are reached by stairs only, with no vehicle access at all. That means the crew carries between the road and the door, sometimes a long way down and back. The much-loved foreshore walk runs right past some of these frontages. It is a beautiful, quiet peninsula and a move that rewards a crew who has worked the point before and knows where a truck can actually stop and how the stairs run.

Every Cremorne Point move starts with the access, because that decides the truck, the crew and the carry. Here is what we plan around:

• One road runs in and out along the point, Cremorne Road down to Milson Road, so the truck has no alternate route if the kerb space is taken.
• Many harbour-side frontages step down from the road and are reached by stairs only, with no vehicle access.
• Period apartment blocks dominate, so internal stairs and a down-and-up carry to the truck are the norm.
• The narrow single road means a loading spot near the door needs to be planned and timed, not assumed.

We know streets like Cremorne Road, Milson Road, Bogota Avenue and the access that comes with them. Send your pickup and drop-off addresses with your quote and we will tell you exactly how we would handle the carry, the parking and any flight of stairs.

North Sydney Council does not offer a removalist parking permit either. It issues resident and visitor parking permits, and temporary permits for residents whose parking is affected by building works, but its only road-occupation permit is a construction Works Zone: it carries a $1,990 application fee plus a $10,000 security deposit, takes around 30 business days to process, runs for a 16-week minimum and does not cover truck-and-dog trailers, so it is not a realistic tool for a house or apartment move. The practical approach in Cremorne, Cremorne Point, Neutral Bay and Cammeray is to park the truck legally as close to the entrance as the street allows and work around the Military Road peak-hour clearway, loading from a quieter side street. On a Resident Parking Scheme street a removal truck holds no permit-holder exemption, so we plan and time a loading spot ahead, especially along the single road onto Cremorne Point.
