Moving in Victoria Point
Victoria Point runs out to a foreshore on the bay and, from the barge ramp here, the short vehicle ferry crosses to Coochiemudlo Island, so it is both a settled bayside suburb and the easiest island hop in the Redlands. The suburb is mostly comfortable family houses on regular blocks with driveways, around the Lakeside shopping centre and out toward Point Halloran and the foreshore, so the typical move is a straightforward back-to-the-door house job. The exception is a Coochiemudlo move, which is a normal house move with a few-minute barge crossing tacked on, and the foreshore streets where waterfront homes can mean a tighter carry. We read your address, and if Coochie is involved we book the barge and time the short crossing, so the day runs in one go. Tell us the home and we will quote it honestly.
Reading the access in Victoria Point
Every Victoria Point move starts with the access, because that is what decides the truck, the crew and the timing. Here is what we plan around:
- The Victoria Point barge ramp runs the short vehicle ferry across to Coochiemudlo Island
- Mostly family houses on regular blocks with driveways around the Lakeside centre and Point Halloran
- Foreshore streets where a waterfront home can mean a tighter carry to the door
- A Coochiemudlo move is a normal house job plus a short, booked barge crossing
From Victoria Point, a move can keep going across the bay
Victoria Point hosts the Victoria Point barge ramp, so a move here can continue onto the vehicle barge — the truck drives on and your furniture crosses with it. We book the deck, time the tide and the timetable, and plan the island drive at the far end.

For a standard household move in the Redlands you do not need a Council permit. Most homes here have a driveway or a quiet kerb, so we back the truck close to the door and load from legal kerb space, timing it where a street is busy. A Redland City Council approval only comes in when something has to OCCUPY the road or footpath — a skip bin or hoarding left standing, a crane or hoist working from the street, or a length of kerb set aside as a work zone. Those approvals carry a fee and a lead time, so if your move needs one we flag it early and tell you to confirm the current cost and how far ahead to apply with Council. For an island move, the equivalent step is booking the vehicle barge deck with the operator, which we handle as part of the quote.

Victoria Point removals: common questions
Can you move us to Coochiemudlo Island?
Yes, and it is the easiest island move in the Redlands. The vehicle barge crosses from the Victoria Point ramp to Coochiemudlo in a few minutes, so the truck is on and off quickly. We still book the barge and time it to the timetable and tide, and the island roads are quiet once we land.
What is access like around Point Halloran and the foreshore?
Mostly comfortable houses on regular blocks with driveways, so a back-to-the-door job. The foreshore streets can have a waterfront home with a tighter carry, which we plan for on the day.
Can you do a short-notice Victoria Point move?
Often, yes, for a mainland move. For a Coochiemudlo move we need a little more lead time to book the barge deck, so tell us early if the island is involved.
How much does a Victoria Point move cost?
Our online-quote rates start at $200/hour for two movers and a truck ($250 for three, $400 for a larger crew with two trucks), and you get a clear indicative quote up front for your specific move. An island move adds the booked barge crossing, which we quote once we know the island and the load. No surprises on the day.
