What should I include in a moving checklist for relocating around Melbourne?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

A Melbourne moving checklist should cover booking removalists or a van, arranging parking access, packing an essentials box, and confirming the moving date with your landlord or settlement agent. Before leaving, photograph the property, record meter readings, return keys, and organise final electricity, gas and internet services. At the new address, update your details with Australia Post, banks, insurers, employers and Services Australia if relevant, and check whether your local council requires any permits for a skip bin or street access. Allow extra time for peak-hour traffic and apartment lift bookings.
