Moving in Floreat
Floreat is a planned suburb developed in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the City Beach expansion — wide curving streets, large blocks, and brick-and-tile homes with double garages and generous driveways. It is among the most straightforward suburbs in Perth to move in: wide roads handle large trucks without a problem, most properties have drive-through access or substantial verge parking, and the block sizes mean carry distances are typically short. City of Cambridge, which covers Floreat, has no removalist permit system. The neighbouring Perry Lakes reserve does limit some through-routes, but the suburb's road layout means most addresses are accessible from multiple approaches.
Local access & logistics
Every Floreat move starts with the access, because that is what decides the truck, the crew and the timing. Here is what we plan around in Floreat:
- Large 1950s–60s brick-and-tile homes on wide curving streets — excellent truck access
- Most properties have double garages and drive-through or substantial verge access
- City of Cambridge: no removalist parking permit requirement
- Wide road cross-section throughout — largest truck size is rarely a constraint

Parking in the City of Cambridge
The City of Cambridge (Floreat, City Beach) does not issue removalist parking permits. These are predominantly 1950s–70s planned suburbs with wide streets and large blocks — truck access is among the most straightforward in Perth. Verge parking is easy on virtually every street. For properties backing onto the Perry Lakes reserve, vehicle routing to the rear of the property may require a longer drive around.
Floreat removals: common questions
Is Floreat easy to move in and out of?
Floreat is one of the more straightforward suburbs in Perth for a move. The streets were planned in the 1950s with wide carriageways, and the block sizes mean most properties have a driveway and comfortable verge access. We rarely encounter complications in Floreat.
Does the City of Cambridge (which covers Floreat) require a permit for a moving truck?
No. The City of Cambridge does not issue removalist parking permits. Trucks use verge parking under normal WA road rules.
Are Floreat homes typically large or small?
Most Floreat homes are 1950s and 1960s brick-and-tile — three or four bedrooms on a large block. A standard house move here takes about half a day with two movers and a 12-tonne truck. Some of the more modern two-storey rebuilds are larger and may need two trucks.
What does a Floreat 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.
