What shapes a move in Cockatoo
Cockatoo sits in the Dandenong Ranges foothills in the Shire of Cardinia, and it is genuinely hilly country. Blocks are large and heavily treed, houses are frequently built into the slope, and driveways are long, often steep and often unsealed. None of that makes a move difficult, but all of it needs to be known before the truck is booked rather than discovered on the morning.
Driveways, slope and clearance
The single most useful thing you can tell us about a Cockatoo property is the driveway: how long it is, how steep, whether it is sealed or gravel, how tight the turn is at the top, and whether tree canopy will clear a high truck. Where a full-size vehicle cannot safely make the approach, we shuttle the load in a smaller truck rather than force it or subject the crew to an extremely long hand carry. Wet weather changes what gravel will take, and we plan around it.
Split levels and internal access
Houses built into a slope often have entry at one level and living areas at another, with external steps down to the front door. Those steps, not the road, usually decide how long the job takes, so we ask about them up front and size the crew accordingly. Moves to and from neighbouring Emerald, Gembrook, Avonsleigh and Pakenham are short local runs.
Common questions
Will your truck make it up my driveway? Tell us the gradient, surface and overhanging trees and we will give you a straight answer before the day, and bring a shuttle vehicle if it will not.
Do you move sheds and workshops? Yes — tell us the heaviest item and we will size the crew and equipment to it.
How early can you start? Bookings are available 24 hours a day, and early starts are common here because of the run time to Melbourne.
