Loading on the Sunshine Coast
A commercial vehicle picking up or dropping off goods may use a Sunshine Coast loading zone for 30 minutes, and a heavy vehicle may stay longer than an hour in a built-up area only while it is dropping off or picking up goods the whole time (Sunshine Coast Council). A permit to occupy a road or verge needs at least 28 working days (Sunshine Coast Council), so it is no help on a short-notice move.
Large items need a trip to the tip
Neither council collects large items from the kerb. On the Sunshine Coast they go to council waste facilities, where fees apply (Sunshine Coast Council); in Noosa to the resource recovery facilities at Doonan, Cooroy or Pomona (Noosa Council). Plan that trip before moving day.
About 26.8% of homes in the urban area were rented at the 2021 Census and 73.2% were separate houses (ABS). See last-minute removals. Then request a quote.
