Redcliffe 4020 is Queensland’s oldest European settlement site — and one of South East Queensland’s most distinctive moving destinations. The suburb sits at the eastern tip of the Redcliffe Peninsula, roughly 28 kilometres north-east of Brisbane CBD, bounded by Moreton Bay on three sides. Redcliffe Parade runs along the foreshore and is the address of the suburb’s most visible lifestyle assets: Suttons Beach, the Redcliffe Jetty, Settlement Cove Lagoon, and the Redcliffe Botanic Gardens. Anzac Avenue and Sheehan Street form the main residential grid behind the foreshore. The suburb is also seeing a wave of medium-density development — the proposed twin towers at Redcliffe Parade and Sutton Street signal a changing skyline. Whether you’re moving out of a post-war weatherboard near the Jetty or into a new apartment on the Parade, Relocation Rangers handles Redcliffe moves with a same-team approach that understands the peninsula’s access realities.

A real Redcliffe move
We recently moved a retired couple from a 3-bedroom post-war home on Portwood Street, Redcliffe, to a 2-bedroom apartment in Kippa-Ring — a classic Redcliffe downsizing move. The job ran 4.5 hours with a crew of two: 2 hours loading (full furniture including a vintage sideboard and antique glass cabinet, bedroom suites, boxes, outdoor setting), 10 minutes to Kippa-Ring, and 2 hours unloading into the new apartment. Total: $877.50 plus $14 fuel. The main challenge: the Portwood Street property had a narrow concrete path from the front door to the street, and the sideboard couldn’t be rotated on the path — our crew used a path board and a 2:1 carry angle to manoeuvre it to the truck without damage.
Local knowledge — Redcliffe
Redcliffe’s foreshore grid — Redcliffe Parade, Sutton Street, Sheehan Street, and Portwood Street — is mostly composed of post-war and 1960s homes on small lots with limited off-street parking. Truck parking on the foreshore side of Redcliffe Parade requires care: loading zones are limited and Sunday markets (every Sunday on Redcliffe Parade) make the area inaccessible for truck parking. The annual Redcliffe Festival in September closes Redcliffe Parade to traffic for most of the day — if your move date is near the September festival, confirm the exact road closure dates with us at booking.
Anzac Avenue is the main egress route — it carries substantial traffic during morning and afternoon peaks. For moves requiring early arrival, we can start as early as 7 am to load before peak traffic builds. New medium-density developments near Redcliffe Parade require lift booking (we coordinate in advance) and have specific service vehicle access windows.
Schools, parks and transport
Redcliffe State School and Redcliffe State High School serve the local catchment. The Redcliffe Peninsula line — Queensland’s most recent rail addition — connects Redcliffe to Moreton Bay Rail Link stations and into Brisbane CBD, with services departing from Kippa-Ring station nearby. The Suttons Beach foreshore, Settlement Cove Lagoon, and Redcliffe Botanic Gardens make the suburb one of the Moreton Bay region’s most scenic places to live and, as a result, a sought-after destination for retirees and families moving out of suburban Brisbane. The Redcliffe Showgrounds hosts regular events that generate peak parking demand — another factor to check before scheduling your moving date.
Need storage too?
Downsizing from a large Redcliffe home or between settlement dates? Our secure Brisbane storage at $150/week per 20ft container handles the gap, with the same team on both ends.
What our Redcliffe customers say
“They knew about the Sunday market restrictions on Redcliffe Parade before I even mentioned it — booked us in for a 7 am Saturday start and everything was done by lunch.” — B. Sanderson, Redcliffe
“Antique furniture moved perfectly from our old place on Portwood Street. The care they took with the glass cabinet was impressive.” — J. & R. Lim, Redcliffe
Common move types in Redcliffe
Redcliffe’s distinct identity as a coastal heritage town with growing medium-density development produces specific move patterns. The most common is the peninsula retirement move: retirees relocating from outer Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast to Redcliffe’s foreshore or peninsula suburbs, attracted by Suttons Beach, the jetty precinct, and the Moreton Bay ferry access. These moves often involve downsizing from a large home to a unit or townhouse, with a storage period in between. Second is the Redcliffe Parade apartment move: new medium-density developments are converting owner-occupiers from houses to apartments, requiring careful lift booking and building management coordination. Third is the family peninsula upgrade: families relocating from inner Brisbane to a Redcliffe 4-bedroom home for the bayside lifestyle and Redcliffe Peninsula school catchments.
The Redcliffe Peninsula line — the newest addition to Queensland’s commuter rail network — has boosted the suburb’s accessibility and is driving a wave of new arrivals from inner Brisbane who want the coastal lifestyle without the full commute penalty.
Frequently asked questions — Redcliffe removalists
Q: Can I get a move on Redcliffe Parade itself?
Yes — but not on Sunday (Redcliffe Markets) and not during the Redcliffe Festival in September. We check the local events calendar at booking and plan around road closures. Weekend moves on other days are available with a small surcharge.
Q: Do you handle lifts and access for the new apartment buildings on Redcliffe Parade?
Yes — we coordinate lift bookings with building managers in advance. Most Redcliffe Parade developments require at least 5 business days’ notice for service lift access.
Q: How do I manage Anzac Avenue traffic on moving day?
We time truck departures to avoid the 7:30–8:30 am and 4–5 pm peaks on Anzac Avenue. An early start (7 am load) usually allows us to finish loading and depart before peak traffic builds.
Q: Do you service other Redcliffe Peninsula suburbs?
Yes — Kippa-Ring, Margate, Scarborough, Clontarf, Newport, and Woody Point are all in our Redcliffe Peninsula service area.
Q: Is there any issue with moving antique or fragile items from older Redcliffe homes?
No — our crew uses specialist wrapping for antique furniture, glass cabinets, and mirrors. Older Redcliffe homes often have heirloom pieces and we treat them accordingly.
Q: Do you move interstate from Redcliffe?
Yes. Sydney from $190/m³, Melbourne from $320/m³. Long-distance info →
