Docklands is Melbourne’s purpose-built waterfront precinct, sitting within the City of Melbourne just a couple of kilometres from the CBD. Made up of distinct pockets like NewQuay, Victoria Harbour, Yarra’s Edge, and Batman’s Hill, it’s a suburb built almost entirely around high-rise apartment towers, corporate office floors, and waterfront living, with The District Docklands, Marvel Stadium, and Collins Square anchoring the precinct. When it comes time to move in or out of a Docklands tower, you need a removalist who understands high-rise logistics as well as they understand furniture.
Ashville Removals has been completing moves in Docklands for years. Our team understands the property types found here, from one and two-bedroom apartments in NewQuay and Yarra’s Edge to larger family units in Victoria Harbour and office fit-outs in the towers around Collins Square, and we plan every single move around lift bookings, concierge requirements, and building access specific to Docklands.
When you book with us, you’re not getting a call centre and a stranger at your door. You’re getting a locally operated crew who has worked in towers just like yours, managed the same lift and loading dock bookings, and delivered a stress free move for other residents in your building. That local knowledge is something no interstate removal company can replicate.
Not all suburbs are equal when it comes to logistics, and Docklands has its own specific set of considerations that an experienced local removalist anticipates well before moving day. With no street-level entry to most apartments and very limited on-street parking, almost every move in Docklands depends on a booked service lift, a confirmed loading dock slot, and sign-off from the building manager or concierge. Event days at Marvel Stadium can also affect traffic and parking around the Stadium Precinct, so timing matters. Managing these differences requires planning that starts at the booking stage, not when the truck arrives.
Our Docklands team handles all pre move logistics as standard: goods lift bookings with your building management, loading dock time slot reservations, concierge and security notifications, and confirmation of any certificate of currency your body corporate requires before approving access. By the time our removalists show up on your doorstep, every access issue has already been resolved.
We charge by the hour with a minimum two hour booking. Your written quote, always provided in advance and never verbal, details the hourly rate, the number of removalists assigned, estimated duration based on your specific inventory, and any specialist equipment required for heavy or fragile items. There are no fuel levies, no stair charges added on the day, and no surprise line items at invoice.
For a standard Docklands move, a one bedroom apartment typically takes 2 to 3 hours with two removalists, though lift bookings can extend the total time on site. A two to three bedroom apartment usually requires 3 to 5 hours with two to three removalists. Office relocations and larger commercial moves are quoted individually based on a full inventory review. All pricing includes GST, full goods in transit insurance, and free packing boxes as standard.

Whether you’re moving a one-bedroom apartment in NewQuay or relocating a full office floor near Collins Square, our service is structured to handle every aspect of your move without leaving anything to chance.
Our core service covers all residential moves in Docklands, which in practice means apartments and units of every size across NewQuay, Victoria Harbour, Yarra’s Edge, and Batman’s Hill. We bring a fully equipped truck matched to your inventory, so there’s no need for undersized vehicles that require multiple trips, a trained crew sized to your move, and all the protective equipment required to move every item through lifts, corridors, and loading docks without damage to furniture, walls, or doorframes.
Every removalist on our crew has been formally trained in safe furniture handling, protective wrapping techniques, efficient truck loading, and professional customer service. They are background checked and committed to treating your home and belongings with respect, because we understand that your possessions aren’t just objects, they’re part of your life.
If you’d prefer to hand over the entire moving process, our professional packing team can pack your entire apartment before moving day. We use double walled cartons for books and heavy items, bubble wrap and packing paper for fragile items and crockery, wardrobe cartons with internal hanging rails so your clothes arrive ready to hang, and picture frame cartons for artwork. Every box is labelled by room and content, so unpacking at the other end is as organised as the pack.
All bookings include free packing boxes as standard. If you prefer to self pack, we can supply all materials and collect any unused boxes after your move at no additional charge.
We carry specialist equipment for the items that require it: professional piano dollies rated for upright and grand pianos, heavy duty load rated straps for safes, pool tables, and large gym equipment, and custom pneumatic dollies for oversized or unusually heavy pieces. All specialist items are covered under our standard goods in transit insurance at no additional premium. Please advise us of any specialist items at quote stage so we can allocate the right crew, equipment, and lift booking from the outset.
Our commercial relocation team handles office moves, IT equipment relocations, and business relocations for companies based in the office towers around Collins Square, Bourke Street, and the wider Docklands business precinct. We offer after hours and weekend commercial moves specifically to minimise disruption to your business operations. Every commercial job is assigned a dedicated site supervisor, a pre move logistics plan, and a post move walkthrough to confirm every item is correctly positioned and every connection has been re established.
