Relocating to a new home or office in Melbourne can be exciting—but without proper planning, it can quickly become stressful. At Moving Victoria, we’ve helped thousands move smoothly across the city and beyond. To help make your next move a breeze, here are 7 important things you should know before moving in Melbourne.
1. Understand the Suburbs and Traffic Patterns
Melbourne is a sprawling city with over 300 suburbs. From the buzz of Southbank to the calm of Glen Waverley, every area has a different vibe—and traffic flow. Understanding peak hours and local council regulations can help plan your move better.

3. Plan for Melbourne’s Unpredictable Weather
Melbourne is known for experiencing “four seasons in a day.” Rain, wind, and sudden heat can complicate your move. Always have weather protection (like blankets, wraps, or covers) ready.
4. Don’t Underestimate Parking and Access
Some inner suburbs have narrow streets or strict parking limits. Arrange permits if necessary and inform your movers in advance. Our Melbourne movers are well-versed in local logistics.
5. Declutter Before You Pack
Moving is the perfect time to lighten your load. Donate, sell, or dispose of items you no longer need. This makes packing faster, and it can lower your moving cost.

6. Label Everything Clearly
Label boxes by room and contents to avoid chaos when unpacking. This also helps movers place items in the correct rooms, saving you time and effort post-move.
7. Update Your Address and Services
Notify the postal service, utility companies, banks, and subscriptions of your move. Updating your details before moving day can prevent service disruptions.
