Whether you’re relocating from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast or downsizing within Redland City, a proper game plan can save you hours — and hundreds of dollars. At Bay City Removals, we’ve created a week-by-week moving checklist that aligns with how professional removalists operate across South East Queensland.
Use this 4-week strategy to prepare for your move, avoid common delays, and take full advantage of our full-service options — including pre-packing, furniture transport services, and tailored home moving support.
Confirm your moving date and book your removalist company ASAP — especially if you’re moving on a weekend, during school holidays, or across suburbs like Logan, Redland Bay or the Gold Coast. Bay City Removals offers free quotes and flexible home moving services. This is also the time to notify your landlord, gather paperwork, and begin sorting what stays and what goes. Start planning storage or decluttering services if needed.
Donate, sell or bin anything you don’t want to bring. The lighter the load, the cheaper and faster your move will be. Start packing non-essentials — books, seasonal clothes, decorations — and label boxes by room. Ask about our decluttering tips and pre-packing services to make this stage quicker and cleaner. Secure packing materials early — or let us supply them.
Confirm your move time with our team and lock in access details for both pickup and drop-off locations. Notify utility providers, update your address, and schedule disconnections or reconnections. If you’ve booked furniture transport services, let us know about any tricky items: fridges, pianos, pool tables, or oversize furniture. We’ll bring the right tools, ramps, and padding on the day.
Pack a moving-day essentials box — chargers, keys, medications, basic kitchenware, cleaning supplies. Disassemble large furniture, defrost the fridge, and do a final sweep of cupboards. Label fragile items clearly. Bay City Removals can assist with last-minute packing and loading support to ensure everything is ready to roll. One final call to us? We'll walk you through any outstanding items before your big day.
A successful home move starts weeks before the truck arrives — and Bay City Removals knows exactly how to get you there. Our 4-week moving checklist is based on years of industry experience handling furniture removals, apartment relocations, and full-home moves across South East Queensland. From the initial quote to final delivery, we help our clients stay organised, reduce stress, and avoid costly last-minute surprises.
Our home moving services are designed to align with every phase of your relocation. Need help decluttering? We’ll guide you through what to pack, what to store, and what to leave behind. Booking a removalist? We recommend locking in your date by Week 3 to secure availability. From pre-packing services and label systems to change-of-address tasks and utility transfers, we’ve thought of every step — and built our services around them.
Bay City Removals works with homeowners, renters, and downsizers to simplify complex moves. Whether you're shifting suburbs within Brisbane, planning a long-distance backload to Melbourne, or upsizing your family home in Redland City, our moving checklist ensures everything is timed, prepped, and ready to go.
Our professional removalists don’t just show up on moving day — we’re with you from the start. Need boxes and packing materials delivered in Week 2? Done. Want advice on furniture disassembly or how to protect fragile items? We’ll show you how or handle it for you. Everything we do is geared toward helping you tick the boxes and move with confidence.
