Ferry Timing, Barge Loads & Mainland Staging for Lamb Island Moves

Lamb Island has a close-knit feel, a mix of permanent residents and holiday homes, and access that’s built around ferry and barge schedules out of Redland Bay. We plan your move around those windows, stage loads on the mainland and keep things efficient so you’re not paying for trucks sitting in a queue. New to our services? Start with Redland City removalists and how to choose the best movers so you know exactly what’s covered before your Lamb Island move.

If you’re comparing Karragarra, Lamb, Macleay and Russell as options, use our island planning pages first: moving to the islands of Redland City gives a big-picture view of each island, and planning a move to the islands of Redland City steps through timelines, checklists and common island-moving mistakes to avoid. Feeder moves into Redland Bay and nearby suburbs are handled via our local moving services and wider South East Queensland routes.

Lamb Island Streets, Driveways & Holiday Turnovers

Lamb Island is compact, with narrow streets, shared driveways and limited street parking in some pockets. On top of that, plenty of homes double as holiday rentals, so move dates can be tied to strict check-in and check-out windows. We send crews that understand island access, bring sliders and dollies for awkward paths, and use doorway and floor protection inside so your new place doesn’t get knocked about on day one.

Need a ballpark before you commit? Run through Redland City moving costs. Volume, access, ferry timing, whether we need shuttle runs, and how much packing you’d like us to do are the main factors that change your Lamb Island quote.

Island-Smart Packing for Smaller Homes

Lamb Island homes are often smaller and more efficient, which means clutter shows up quickly if you bring too much. Good packing also means fewer trips and smoother barge loading. Use top packing tips for moving home, decluttering tips when moving home and how to label boxes for easy unpacking to keep your move lean and organised.

On move day, follow managing moving day like a pro so ferry times, barge slots and the crew all line up. After you’ve arrived on Lamb and caught your breath, work through updating your address after moving home. Got fragile pieces, artwork or heirlooms? pack fragile items safely or hand that over to us with a full or partial pre-packing service.

Regular Lamb Island Runs, Real-Life Schedules

We move households between Lamb, Karragarra, Macleay and Russell Island regularly, so we understand early ferries, school runs, work start times and how a delayed barge can throw a whole day out. Tell us how hands-on you want to be — we’ll build a move plan that works with your life, not against it.

  • Pre-packing & unpacking add-ons tailored to Lamb Island homes and holiday lets
  • Bed, table and shelving disassembly & reassembly at both ends
  • TVs, artwork & mirrors wrapped for extra handling at jetties and on the barge
  • White-goods moving, positioning and basic placement in your new kitchen or laundry
  • Shuttle transfers for tight streets, shared driveways and limited parking near the jetty

For a detailed checklist before you lock dates in, revisit planning a move to the islands of Redland City. When you’re ready for numbers, request a fast written estimate via our local moving services page and let us know you’re moving to Lamb Island — we’ll factor in ferry options, staging and your preferred delivery window.

Lamb Island Removalists – FAQs

Island moves made easy: Redland Bay staging, barge timing, small-load efficiency and smart ways to keep Lamb Island moving costs under control.

Most Lamb Island moves start with staging at Redland Bay. Bay City Removals will:

• Load your furniture and cartons at the mainland address.
• Stage at or near Redland Bay in time for the booked barge.
• Take the truck or a smaller island-suited vehicle across to Lamb Island.
• Unload, assemble key items and position furniture so you can function on night one.

For smaller loads, we may use a shuttle-style plan (two runs in a smaller vehicle) if that gives you better value than putting a large truck on the barge. We’ll suggest the most cost-effective option when we quote your move.

Yes. Bay City Removals handles moves both to and from Lamb Island.

• Moving to Lamb Island from Brisbane, Logan, Redland City or wider SEQ – we stage at Redland Bay, then move you over the water.
• Moving from Lamb Island back to the mainland, another suburb or another island – we reverse the plan and coordinate barge times so you’re not stranded with half a house on the wrong side.

We also regularly move between Lamb, Karragarra, Macleay and Russell Island, so an island-to-island move can stay with one team, one plan and one invoice instead of juggling multiple operators.

Lamb Island is compact, with narrow streets, shared driveways and limited parking in some areas. The more detail you give us upfront, the smoother (and cheaper) the day becomes. Helpful info includes:

• Driveway length, slope and surface (gravel, concrete, grass).
• Where the truck can legally park and how far it is to the front door.
• Number of stairs, tight turns or low verandas.
• Any body corporate rules, noise curfews or lift/ access windows.

Combine this with the timeline guidance in planning a move to the islands of Redland City and we can choose the right vehicle, crew and barge times from day one.

We handle everything from small, targeted loads to full-home relocations on Lamb Island:

• A few key items (fridge, washing machine, bed, lounge) for a new rental or holiday place.
• 1–2 bedroom units and cottages.
• Full 3–4 bedroom homes including sheds, outdoor gear and garden equipment.

We quote in cubic metres (m³) plus access. For smaller Lamb Island jobs, we’ll often recommend a strategy that shares barge and labour time smartly, so you’re not paying for a huge truck you don’t really need.

Pricing comes down to volume (m³), barge fees, access (stairs, slopes, long walks), wait time at ramps and travel time between addresses and the ferry.

To save money with Bay City Removals on a Lamb Island move:

• Declutter before move day so we’re not barging items you’ll throw out later.
• Have all cartons sealed and clearly labelled by room – no loose items piled in corners.
• Dismantle simple items (beds, flat-pack shelving, outdoor tables) if you’re comfortable doing it yourself.
• Keep a clear path from house to truck and move cars off driveways before we arrive.
• Where possible, choose mid-week dates that align with good barge times and less congestion.

For a clearer picture of what affects your budget, see Redland City moving costs, then ask us for a Lamb Island–specific quote that includes barge and labour.

Just like any professional move, certain items can’t travel on the truck or barge. Bay City Removals cannot carry:

• Dangerous goods: gas cylinders, fuel cans, flammable liquids, some chemicals, explosives or aerosols.
• Leaking or poorly sealed containers of paint, solvents or oils.
• Any item the barge operator specifically prohibits.

Fridges and freezers must be emptied, defrosted and secured upright. Washing machines may require transit bolts (check your manual). If you’re bringing plants, soil or garden items, flag them early so we can check any biosecurity or cleanliness requirements before move day.

A well-prepared move means fewer surprises, shorter loading times and a lower bill. Before Bay City Removals arrives:

• Follow top packing tips for moving home, decluttering tips when moving home and how to label boxes for easy unpacking.
• Make sure driveways and paths are clear (no low branches, trailers or rubbish in the way).
• Keep kids and pets out of the work zone so the crew can move quickly and safely.
• Pack an “essentials box” with bedding, basic kitchen gear, chargers and toiletries for the first night.

If you’d rather hand over more of the grunt work, ask Bay City Removals about pre-packing and unpacking options. You can still save money by doing some packing yourself and letting us handle the fragile or time-consuming parts. Once you’re on the island, finish the move by following updating your address after moving home.
