Smithfield's Local Moving Specialists
Smithfield is home to James Cook University and Cairns' largest shopping precinct, making it one of the city's most active moving hubs. We regularly help students, academics and families relocate to and from the Smithfield area.
The mix of older residential streets and newer estates in Smithfield means our team comes prepared for everything from tight unit driveways to large family home moves across multiple levels.
Access around the JCU campus precinct and Smithfield Shopping Centre can get congested during semester start and end periods. Our team knows the back streets and service roads that keep your move running smoothly, and we use smaller trucks when needed for the compact townhouse complexes common along McGregor Road and the surrounding student accommodation areas.
In Smithfield our crews handle student units, townhouses and larger multi-level family homes with furniture blankets, trolleys, straps and protective padding. We use smaller trucks where the compact townhouse complexes along McGregor Road call for it, protect stairs and tight driveways, and dismantle and reassemble beds and furniture as needed. Local moves are charged at an hourly rate, and every quote is free.

Moving Day in Smithfield
On moving day in Smithfield we plan around the JCU campus precinct and the shopping centre, which get congested during semester changeovers. Our drivers use the back streets and service roads to keep the truck moving and parking close to your door.
For the compact townhouse complexes near McGregor Road we may bring a smaller truck and extra trolleys for tight access. In the wet season we keep an eye on afternoon storms and time the heaviest carrying around them where we can.

Avoid JCU semester changeover periods.
Smithfield gets extremely busy with student moves at the start and end of university semesters (late February and late June). If you can, schedule your move outside these windows to avoid traffic congestion around the campus and shopping centre.
Check truck access on your street.
Many Smithfield townhouse complexes and older streets have narrow driveways or visitor parking restrictions. Let us know your address when booking so we can plan the right truck size and parking approach for your specific property.
Watch for afternoon storms in the wet.
Smithfield sits at the base of the range and cops heavy afternoon storms from November through April. We schedule around weather when possible, but having items boxed and ready to go quickly helps us load between downpours.
Coordinate parking near the shopping centre.
If you're moving into a unit or townhouse near Smithfield Shopping Centre, parking for removal trucks can be competitive during business hours. We recommend booking a morning move and reserving visitor parking through your body corporate the day before to guarantee our truck has a clear loading spot.

“Moved from a unit near JCU into a house in Caravonica. The R2G lads were quick, careful and knew exactly where to park the truck near campus. Everything arrived without a scratch, couldn't be happier.”
“We relocated our 4-bedroom home from Smithfield to Redlynch. The team handled the steep driveway at our old place like pros and had the truck loaded before lunch. Great value for what you get.”
“R2G helped us move from Smithfield Heights to Edmonton. They turned up on time, wrapped everything properly and were done in under four hours. The quote was accurate and the guys were genuinely friendly.”
