Moving in Jannali
Jannali is a hilly little village built around its railway station, and the hill is the defining feature of a move here. The streets climb away from the station up Railway Crescent, Oxley Avenue and Sutherland Road, lined with older homes, many of them California bungalows and post-war brick on blocks that step up or down the slope. So a Jannali move is often a slope-and-stairs move: a steep driveway, a flight of front steps up to a house set above the street, or a carry that runs up the grade to the truck. The streets near the station are also narrow and on-street parking fills up, so the truck position takes a bit of scouting. None of it is difficult with the right plan, but it is genuinely different to the flat, wide-street suburbs nearby: in Jannali we bring the crew the hill calls for, control heavy items on the grade, and pick the safest place to put a loaded truck on a street that slopes.
Slope, steps and the carry on the grade
On the hilly streets the grade is the whole story. Homes step up or down the slope, often with a steep driveway or a flight of front steps up to a house set above the street, so the carry runs up or down a grade rather than along the flat, and a heavy lounge, fridge or washing machine has to be controlled on the hill, not just lifted. The streets near the station are also narrow with limited on-street parking, so the truck position takes scouting. We pick the safest place to put a loaded truck on a street that slopes, bring the extra crew the grade calls for, and protect the driveway, the steps and the entry on the way through. It is method as much as muscle here.
What we plan around in Jannali
Every Jannali move starts with the way in. These are the genuine things that shape the truck, the crew and the timing here:
- Hilly village around the railway station; streets climb away up Railway Crescent and Oxley Avenue
- Older California bungalows and post-war brick on blocks that step up or down the slope
- Slope-and-stairs moves: steep driveways, front steps to homes set above the street, a carry up the grade
- Narrow station-area streets with limited parking; truck position needs scouting

Jannali removals: common questions
My Jannali home is up a steep block with front steps, is that a problem?
It is our normal day here. Many Jannali homes are California bungalows and post-war brick set above the street, with a steep driveway or a flight of front steps, so the carry runs up or down the grade. We control heavy items on the slope, bring the extra crew the hill calls for, and protect the driveway, the steps and the entry on the way through.
Where will the truck park on a narrow Jannali street?
We scout it first. The streets near the station up Railway Crescent and Sutherland Road are narrow and the on-street parking fills up, so we pick the safest place to put a loaded truck on a street that slopes, and plan the carry from there. Tell us the address and we will work out the best position before the day.
Is Jannali a difficult suburb to move in?
Not with the right plan, but it is genuinely different to the flat, wide-street suburbs nearby. The hill, the steps and the narrow station streets mean we plan the slope, the crew and the truck position carefully rather than treating it like a flat-block move. Done right, it is straightforward.
