Can I bring plants and garden things?

Coming into Brisbane, yes. Leaving Brisbane, it depends, and this is the thing that catches people out.

South East Queensland sits in a fire ant biosecurity zone. The law restricts moving certain things out of it. Coming in is not restricted.

The restricted list covers soil, potted plants, turf, mulch, compost, manure and hay. It also covers anything with soil stuck to it, like a wheelbarrow or a garden statue.

New South Wales then adds its own step. A declaration has to be lodged online before the truck moves, with the vehicle registrations on it.

There is no household exemption in either rule. Two pot plants count the same as a landscaping load.

We do that paperwork. Tell us what is coming out of the garden. We will say what travels, what needs treating and what to leave.

What does a Sydney to Brisbane move cost?

What affects your quote

  • How much you have

    The room it takes on the truck. Nothing else moves the price as much.

  • Access at both ends

    Brisbane Queenslanders have stairs. Sydney terraces have no parking.

  • Who packs

    Do your own boxes and pay less. Hand us the lot and pay more.

  • When you go

    School holidays fill this run first. It is the busiest corridor in the country.

How long does it take?

Two to four days door to door. Here is why it is not one.

About 11 hours of driving

Around 915 kilometres on the Pacific Motorway, Sydney to Brisbane.

A legal cap of 12 hours

A driver works 12 hours in any 24, with seven unbroken hours of rest.

So we plan two days

Eleven hours of wheel time plus loading does not fit in one shift.

Flood can add a day

The M1 has closed near Tweed with no heavy vehicle detour. We reroute inland.

Why book UNN for this run?

  1. One crew, not a relay

    Loaded once, unloaded once. Most interstate quotes hide a depot transfer and a second company.

  2. A price that holds

    Quoted on volume and fixed. An estimate that climbs on moving day is the oldest trick on this corridor.

  3. We handle the fire ant rules

    Most movers hand you a form. We lodge the paperwork and tell you what can travel.

  4. A window before we leave

    Written down at booking, not a phone call when the truck is an hour away.

What Sydney customers say

What else do people ask?

Will my furniture change trucks?
No. It is loaded once in one city and unloaded once in the other. No depot, no second carrier, and the crew who wrapped it carry it in.
Do you charge more going one way?
No. The price comes from how much you have and the access at each end. Far more people move north than south, so southbound trucks often have room.
What if my new place is not ready?
We hold the load in storage and deliver when you get the keys. Settlement dates rarely line up on this run, so it is quoted with the move.
Can I send just a few rooms?
Yes. A part load is priced on the space you fill, not a whole truck. A couple of rooms is a normal booking here.
How far ahead should I book?
Two to four weeks. This is the busiest interstate corridor in the country, and school holidays and month end go first.
Do you cover the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers?
Yes, on the way through rather than as a separate trip. Tweed, Byron, Ballina and the Coast are all on this route.
