Australians prepared to move interstate for a better lifestyle

#Interstate Removals #Moving House #Removal #Brisbane Removalists

ABOUT one in three Australians are prepared to pack their bags and move interstate if it meant they would end up better off.

A report released today says 31 per cent of Australians would happily move interstate if they could earn a bigger wage and improve their work/life balance.
The ING Direct Financial Wellbeing Index found Queensland is the preferred destination, with 46 per cent of the households willing to move Interstate to the Sunshine State, followed by NSW and Victoria which both appealed to 40 per cent of people.
The report found the lure to move interstate would be to earn a higher salary (32 per cent), improve work/life balance (30 per cent), lower the cost of living (19 per cent), reduce home loan repayments as a result of lower property prices (10 per cent) and have better job opportunities (9 per cent).
ING Direct spokesman David Breen said the percentage of Australians willing to move Interstate was “quite high”.
“One in three nationally are prepared to move for either financial gain or a better lifestyle, they are the two driving forces,” he said.
“The Australian workforce is much more mobile or potentially more mobile than what people think.
“Whether they actually move Interstate is one thing, but consideration of moving sees there is great potential for the workforce.”
Social analyst David Chalke said the results showed Australians were far more flexible when it came to moving Interstate.
“People are far more mobile than they’ve ever been before,” he said.
“The young are far more mobile than their grandparents’ generation who would be born, work and die all in the same suburb.
“With the situation with mining and fly-in fly-out, the ability to earn $150,000 and do it for three years to buy a nice house is quite a powerful incentive for some people.”
He said the reason Queensland was the most desirable place to move interstate was because of “lifestyle”.
The results also showed men (32 per cent) were more willing to move interstate for financial gain than women (28 per cent).
South Australian residents were more likely than their interstate neighbours to move interstate with 35 per cent prepared to pack their bags if it meant earning more money.
The Financial Wellbeing Index, which rates household comfort levels across the six key aspects, also rose from 105.6 in the June quarter to 109 in the September quarter and was the highest reading since 2010.
The report said the increase was because of “ongoing efforts by Australian households to reduce debt and increase personal savings”.

Preferred destination to move Interstate for financial gain

• Queensland: 46%
• NSW: 40%
• Victoria: 40%
• Western Australia: 31%
• South Australia: 30%
• Tasmania: 22%
• ACT: 20%
• Northern Territory 16%

Moving to Queensland—change your registration

If you move to Queensland from another state or territory, you must get Queensland registration and a Queensland driver licence. You have 14 days to register your vehicle in Queensland and may be fined if you don’t.
When you register your vehicle in Queensland, you can apply to get a refund on the remaining part of your interstate registration.
To do this, you need to hand in your interstate number plates at a transport and motoring customer service centre or, if you live in a rural area, a QGAP office, Magistrates Court or local police station that provides vehicle registration services.
If you have purchased personalised or customised number plates from the interstate authority you will have to check with them to see whether you can keep the plates.
You will get a receipt for the surrender of the number plates. To cancel the interstate registration you must contact the interstate authority where you vehicle was previously registered.

Moving from Queensland to interstate – Change Your Queensland Registration.

If you move to another state or territory and take your Queensland registered vehicle with you to your new address, you will need to register your vehicle in that state or territory.
When you register your vehicle in another state, surrender the number plates to the transport authority and make sure to get a plate surrender receipt. To do this, you need to contact the relevant transport authority to find out their registration requirements.

Refund of unexpired Queensland registration

You can apply to the Department of Transport and Main Roads for a refund of the unexpired portion of Queensland registration, as well as the compulsory third party (CTP) insurance component.
A refund will only be issued to the registered operator of the Queensland registered vehicle—this is the person who the vehicle is registered to. If you’re not the registered operator of a vehicle you cannot get a refund.

To apply for a refund of unexpired registration

Mail a completed cancellation of registration form (F3517) (PDF, 282KB) with a copy of the plate receipt to:
Department of Transport and Main Roads
Rockhampton Customer Service Centre
PO Box 5096
CENTRAL QUEENSLAND MC QLD 4701
Make sure you provide your mailing address on the form.
Buying a Queensland registered vehicle from interstate
A vehicle must be garaged at a Queensland address to be registered in Queensland. If you live interstate and purchase a vehicle that is registered in Queensland, you cannot register it in your name in Queensland unless you have a Queensland garaging address.
If you can’t transfer the Queensland registration into your name, you may ask the seller to cancel the vehicle’s registration at a transport and motoring customer service centre. You can then apply for an unregistered vehicle permit to transport the vehicle to your home address.
To register the vehicle you will need to contact the transport authority in your state or territory to find out their registration requirements.

Cheap Removals

Moving is much cheaper than most people think!
#Removalists #InterstateRemovalist #LocalRemovals #BrisbaneRemovalist #AffordableRemovalists

A lot of people try to save money by conducting their own removal service but they don't factor in a few simple things such as the time they would save by using an experienced removalist.  

An average 4 bedroom house would take us approximately 3 - 4 hours to load, the average private customer would take 6 - 8 hours even with their friends helping.

Why struggle with those heavy pieces of furniture yourself? Why risk doing damage not only to your furniture but also to yourself?

We see people using box trailers, utes and flat tray trucks and even hiring trucks, loading furniture on with no experience which often results in items rubbing against each other, even getting damages from the elements such as rain and wind.

Some of the moves we perform are completed in less than a few hours and cost as little as $200. It could be a 2 bedroom unit just going a few suburbs away or a 3 bedroom house removal just down the street. 

If saving  money is important then the more organised you are when getting ready to move the cheaper the removal will be. When the removalist arrives if you have everything ready to go in the garage then it will be quick to load. 

Have all your small items packed in boxes and all your furniture unassembled ready for moving, have your whitegoods unplugged and fridge unpacked. Basically the more you do and prepare for the move, the less the removal is going to cost. We often move large house loads in under 5 hours for around $700, that includes carrying everything out to the removal truck wrapping every single item in thick furniture blankets and then at the new destination placing every item exactly where you want it.

Why would you want the stress & struggle of moving yourself when you can let professional removalists move it for you. Fast, easy, no hassle and you can simply point your finger where you want the items to go

Brave Brisbane Removalist

Brave Brisbane Removalist Removes Python Snakes  

#BrisbaneRemovalist #SnakeRescue #BraveRemovalist 

Frightened Brisbane office staff were relieved when a young Brisbane furniture removalist came to the rescue.  Squeals, scream & sighs could be heard as two 

very healthy reptiles were relocated from a busy Brisbane office. 

The local removalist was busy loading his furniture truck when he heard a lady scream snake. Having his own pet snake at home he was quick to observe two carpet pythons one approximately 2m in length and the other almost 3m. The removalist placed each snake into a removalist packing cartons and took them for a ride in his truck.
He release them into nearby bushland the removalist said snakes are certainly active with the warmer weather and just as people are on the move so too are snakes.

Information An Interstate Removalist Company Will Require To Give You A Fixed Removal Quote!

For long a distance removal, an interstate removalist will require an inventory list

Removal quotes are based on how much space is required for your belongings in the removal truck. A removal inventory list will also let the removal company know how long it will take the removalists to load and unload on the truck.You don’t have to be 100% accurate with your removal inventory list however you need to try and get it as close as possible.

An easy way to do this is to walk through your home or office and make a list room by room. Write down all furniture items white good items and just make an estimate of how many boxes you think you may have in each room.Once you have been through inside do the same for outside including your garage garden shed etc.

The removal company will also need to know details about the access for the removal truck and removalists at both pickup and delivery. Information such as distance from where the truck can park to the front door of the home or office, is the driveway steep level long or short?, is there ample parking for a big removal truck on the street?, are there over hanging trees?, is there stairs or an elevator? How far approximately will the removalists need to carry the items to the truck?. 

Other information the removalist will require is the date you would like the removal to be done.If you are still planning your move you can just provide an approximate date that you think you may be moving. The removalist will also require the address for pickup and at least an area or the address for intended delivery.

Removalist will also require contact names email addresses and phone numbers.If you are moving from a storage facility or to a storage facility the removalist will need full details of the storage company opening hours access codes along with the storage unit number and name that the storage is booked in.

Removalists Weight Loss Program

#removalists #job #removals
NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT AND GET A JOB AT THE SAME TIME? MAYBE BEING A REMOVALIST IS FOR YOU!  

If you’re a little overweight and you have a few kilograms you would like to shed perhaps you should think about becoming a professional removalist. On any normal day a removalist would arrive at the removal address at around 7am. Working with the removal offsider the removalist would first open the doors to the removal truck put down a the ramp board at the back of the truck so they can walk and carry items up and down it.
 
Then they would start to take it in turns sometimes walking backwards carrying heavy items then other times walking forwards carrying things like the lounges, buffets, dining tables, entertainment units, bookcases, fridges, mattresses and all the other heavy large solid items that require two people to lift. As each furniture item comes on to the truck it needs to be wrapped with a special furniture removal blanket to ensure the item is protected from being scratched or damaged.
 
The removalists are often at two level homes and have stairs to deal with, steep driveways or tight corners or hallways to navigate. Once all the larger heavy items come out the house and are on the removal truck there’s always heaps of other things to carry like TV’s, removal boxes plastic tubs, suitcases, garden tools, lawn mowers and all the odds and ends you would expect to find around the home.
 
The average home would take two removalists around 3-5 hours to load and in this time the removalist not only has lifted around 2000kg to 5000kg, they would have also walked around 6 to 10 kilometres not to mention how many stairs they have gone up and down. That’s just the loading part done.
 
Then after either driving the removal truck down the road across the street or perhaps across the town the unloading begins. Hopefully it’s a lowset home this time without stairs and the removalist driving the truck can park the removal truck a little bit closer to the front door of the house.
 
Carrying all the items down the ramp board is certainly easier than carrying them up and then it’s a matter of placing all the items in the correct rooms. As they unload each items they unwrap the thick removal blankets which weigh around 7kg each, the removalist has to fold these neatly and stack them against the wall of the truck sometimes folding as many as 100 furniture blankets in one removal.
 
So after a few hours of offloading the job it’s time to head back to the removal depot. The job has taken with travel 8 hours and it’s been a very physical workout for both the removalist driver and the removal offsider. They’ve carried items for about 10klm walked up and down 800 steps worked out their arms, abs legs, shoulders, calves and just about every muscle in their body. Burnt around 2500 calories and sweated about 5 litres of fluids. All in the average day and life of a professional removalist, Now to be prepared for tomorrow.

A house hold removal can be hard work,
