Burraneer sits on a point between Gunnamatta and Burraneer Bays, large waterfront homes on narrow no-through streets running down to the water, where the truck stages on Burraneer Bay Road and the crew carries the last stretch. · Local geography
Moving in Burraneer
Burraneer sits out on a point between Gunnamatta Bay and Burraneer Bay, and the water shapes every move here. The homes along Burraneer Bay Road and the streets running off it are large waterfront houses on narrow, often no-through streets that fall away toward the water, frequently with a jetty, a boat and a double garage's worth of gear. So a Burraneer move is rarely a back-to-the-door job: we read the street first, stage the truck on the widest safe stretch of Burraneer Bay Road, and carry the last run down to the house and back up to the truck. The good furniture these homes hold, the oversized lounges, the dining setting, the artwork, needs proper wrapping and the crew to control it on the slope and the carry. Tell us the address and we will work out where the truck can sit, how long the carry is and how many hands it needs before the day, so nothing is a surprise on it.
Reading the access in Burraneer
Every Burraneer move starts with the access, because that is what decides the truck, the crew and the timing. Here is what we plan around:
- Large waterfront homes on a point between Gunnamatta Bay and Burraneer Bay
- Narrow, often no-through streets that fall toward the water; the truck stages on Burraneer Bay Road
- The carry runs down to the house and back up to the truck, not back-to-the-door
- Jetties, boats and oversized furniture mean proper wrapping and extra crew
The loading window here
The streets are narrow and often no-through, so we stage the truck on the widest safe stretch and carry the last run to the water side.
Weekday: Best mid-morning, when the narrow streets are clear of parked commuters and the carry path is open.
Summer weekend: Weekends are quiet on the points, but waterfront visitors can fill the kerb, so we scout the spot either way.
Quiet streets, but boats, trailers and visitors can fill the waterfront kerb, so we still scout the truck position. Run the full loading plan →
Parking and Council permits for a peninsula move
For a standard household move you generally will not need a Council permit on the Cronulla peninsula. We use the legal kerb or a marked loading zone and time the truck to the day, scouting the spot first where it is tight. A Sutherland Shire Council approval applies only when something stands on the road or footpath: a skip bin, hoarding or scaffolding, or a length of kerb set aside as a work zone, which all sit under Council's Approval to Undertake Works on or Near Roads (Roads Act 1993). A crane or elevated work platform working from the road needs Council approval to operate in a public place as well. These carry a fee and a lead time, so check the current cost and how far ahead to apply with Sutherland Shire Council before you book one. In the Cronulla town centre, remember the beachfront kerb runs to a time limit on summer weekends, so we load early.

Burraneer removals: common questions
Where will the truck go on a narrow Burraneer waterfront street?
We read the street first and stage the truck on the widest safe stretch, usually on Burraneer Bay Road or where your street meets it, then carry the last run down to the house. Tell us the address and we will work out the truck position before the day.
Can you move heavy items down to a waterfront home?
Yes, it is our normal day here. Oversized lounges, dining settings and the like are wrapped properly and controlled on the slope by the crew, not just lifted. Send a photo with your quote and we will tell you how we would handle it.
Do you move from homes with a jetty or boat shed?
Yes. Many Burraneer homes have a jetty, a boat and a double garage of gear, so we plan the carry and the crew around the full load and the water-side access, not just the house.
How much does a Burraneer 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. No surprises on the day.
