Moving in Sylvania

Sylvania is the Shire's front door from the north, the suburb at the southern foot of Tom Uglys Bridge, which is the main way into the peninsula from the St George side. Almost every move coming into the Shire over Tom Uglys lands in Sylvania first, so the bridge and its approach roads off the Princes Highway and Port Hacking Road are the defining feature of a move here, and we time the crossing to miss the bridge's notorious peak crawl. The other half of Sylvania is the water: Sylvania Waters is a canal estate of waterfront homes on tight cul-de-sacs and narrow waterside streets, often with a boat, a pontoon and a double garage's worth of gear, where backing a long truck in takes real care and sometimes a shuttle. So a Sylvania move is either a quick bridge-foot job or a careful waterfront one, and the first thing we check is which, because the truck, the crew and the timing are completely different between them.

Timing the bridge crossing

This part of the Shire lives at the foot of a bridge, so the move starts with the crossing, not the front door. Tom Uglys and the Captain Cook carry the traffic between the Shire and the rest of Sydney, and both crawl at peak, so we time the truck to cross in the quieter windows rather than burning an hour stuck on the span. We plan the run in both directions, the empty truck arriving and the loaded truck leaving, and where a move is heading interstate or across town we stage the pickup so a long vehicle is not caught on the bridge approach. Get the crossing right and the rest of the move is just lifting.

Waterfront moves often involve a boat, pontoon and extra gear, and a careful truck approach or shuttle
Two move types in one suburb: a quick bridge-foot job or a careful waterfront one

Send us the pickup and drop-off addresses with your quote and we'll tell you exactly how we'd handle your move, including the crossing, the kerb or dock, the carry and any lift or stairs that need a plan.

Sylvania removals: common questions

Will the truck get stuck on Tom Uglys Bridge?

Not if we time it. Sylvania sits at the southern foot of Tom Uglys, the main way into the Shire from the north, and the bridge crawls at peak, so we plan the crossing for the quieter windows in both directions. Get the timing right and the move runs smoothly; ignore it and you lose an hour on the span.

Do you move waterfront homes in Sylvania Waters?

Yes, and they are a careful job. Sylvania Waters is a canal estate of waterfront homes on tight cul-de-sacs and narrow waterside streets, often with a boat, a pontoon and plenty of gear. We read the street first, work out whether the truck can reach the door or whether we stage and shuttle, and wrap the good furniture properly for the carry and the bridge.

Which Sylvania move do I have, bridge-foot or waterfront?

Just tell us the address. A quick job near the bridge approach off the Princes Highway and a careful waterfront move down a Sylvania Waters cul-de-sac are completely different to plan, so knowing which lets us send the right truck, crew and approach.
