What moving in Concord West is really like
Concord West sits in the City of Canada Bay, between Concord and Rhodes, with the Parramatta River along its northern edge. It’s 13.1 km from our depot. These are the things that usually decide how a move here goes.
Houses on both sides of the railway
Most of Concord West is houses, and plenty have a driveway, so getting the truck close is usually easy. The Northern line runs right through the suburb, though, so a move from one side to the other can take longer by road than it looks on a map. We plan the route before the day.
Quiet streets, with a few busy spots
Streets near the station and around Concord Hospital on Hospital Road fill up with parked cars during the day, and Concord Road carries heavy traffic. If you’re near any of those, an early start helps. Check the signs out the front for clearway and loading times and we’ll plan around them.
Apartments need the lift booked
Apartment blocks near the station, in Liberty Grove and over in Rhodes usually want the lift and loading dock booked through building management, often a week ahead and in a fixed slot. Some also ask for the removalist’s insurance details before they’ll confirm, so check early.
Moving to or from Rhodes?
It’s only a few minutes’ drive, so most of the time goes on lifts and loading docks rather than the road. Book both buildings’ docks as early as you can and send us the times. We’ll line the crew up so nobody is standing around waiting.

There’s no dedicated removalist permit to apply for. The City of Canada Bay’s parking permits cover residents, visitors, businesses and parks only. Check the signs in your street for clearway and loading times. If parking looks tight, call council on (02) 9911 6555 before moving day.
