CBD building rules — what to expect
most sydney CBD residential towers require pre-approval before any move. our removalists handle all of this — it's part of the job.
OC (owners corporation) approval
5–10 business days notice — form + insurance certificate of currency
loading dock booking
shared dock, 2–4h slots — book via building management or concierge
service lift reservation
separate from the residential lift — often requires a $200–500 bond
allowed time windows
typically 8am–4pm weekdays only — some buildings restrict weekends entirely
truck size restrictions
some basement carparks limit entry to vehicles under 2.1m — street parking only
how minougo handles this
at inventory, you declare your building type (strata, managed). the removalist contacts building management to confirm the loading dock slot, service lift booking, and OC requirements. you receive a job confirmation email with the timeline. no coordination burden on you.
