5 Reasons to Move to Sydney

Posted on | by New Zealand Movers

Moving to Sydney, Australia?

A fast-paced lifestyle, amazing weather all year round, highly-paid jobs and an excellent quality of life – these are just some of the factors that draw Kiwis to Australia’s biggest city of Sydney each year.

Sydney is a vibrant place, and it’s known as a city of the world. So, what are some of the top reasons to move to Sydney and start living your best Australian life?

Here, the experts at New Zealand Movers, who have moved thousands of Kiwis to the city of Sydney, outline 5 reasons to move across the Tasman and settle for Sydney.

1. Job Opportunities

Sydney’s job market is thriving, making it a prime destination for professionals seeking career growth and stability. The city’s low unemployment rate, hovering around 3.9%, reflects its economic resilience and the abundance of career prospects available. From IT and technology to construction and trades, Sydney continues to attract top talent, driven by its dynamic business environment and the demand for skilled professionals.

In particular, the IT and technology sectors are thriving, fueled by Sydney’s status as a hub for innovation and digital transformation. This has led to an increase in highly paid positions, making it an attractive destination for professionals seeking career advancement. The construction and trades industries are also experiencing significant growth, supported by ongoing infrastructure projects and urban development. Whether you’re an established professional or just starting out, Sydney’s job market offers a wealth of opportunities, making it an ideal city to grow your career.

2. Beaches

Sydney is known for its plethora of stunning beaches – and with hot summers, you can visit them almost every day during your Christmas holidays. Bondi Beach is of course one of the world’s most famous beaches, but Maroubra, Clovelly, Coogee, Manly and Tamarama are just a few of the other stunning beaches located right a short drive from Sydney’s centre.

3. Education

Sydney boasts some of Australia’s finest schools, from kindergarten to university. In the private sector, Sydney Grammar School and The King’s School are rated as two of the best schools in the country, and there are plenty of great public schools too, like North Sydney Boys High School and Sydney Girls High School. Universities include the University of Sydney, one of the oldest in Australia, and University of New South Wales.

4. Weather

Weather is another huge drawcard for Kiwis looking to swap chilly winters for hot summers in Sydney. Winters in Sydney are very mild; the average winter temperature high in July (the coldest month) is a pleasant 17 degrees Celsius. Summers are hot, and spent at the beach, or visiting the beachside towns and villages which you’ll find throughout coastal NSW. The South Coast is a favourite holiday spot for Sydneysiders during the summer.

5. Getting Around

Public transport in Sydney is among the best-connected in the country. Commuting in Sydney, you have the option of trains, trams and buses – with a growing number of bike lanes opening up as well. In the warmer months, many Sydneysiders switch to electric scooters as a quick, fun and sustainable way of getting to work. Glide past the bumper-to-bumper traffic with a smile on your face!

New Zealand Movers has had a presence in Dunedin for the last two decades, servicing the Otago region with local household relocations, intercity moving, international moves, and imports to New Zealand for thousands of customers.

Investing in the future growth of our business and Dunedin now

Due to the changing logistics of household moving within New Zealand we made the decision for a new warehouse and storage facility that reflected today’s customer expectations. This has evolved with New Zealand Movers completing significantly more relocations by road in our special high cube containers, so we required a facility with a yard large enough to handle our New Zealand container fleet, and international container volumes, whilst being within the proximity of the ports and where our team live.

Building a Solid & Sustainable Future

Planning of the new build started in early 2021, with building consent obtained in Q3, 2022 and construction on site commencing in November ’22 marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in our journey.  We selected Calder Stewart, a well-known South Island based construction company to build the facility for us.

New Zealand Movers is a team who pride themselves on a commitment to sustainability and environmental protection, which has been reflected in the location, design and green building features of this new office and warehouse.

Today New Zealand Movers Dunedin ‘state of the art’ branch is in a prime location at 1 Odlins Place, Mosgiel. We are situated less than 30 km from Port Otago, a short drive from Dunedin’s Central Business District and directly across the road from the proposed Otago Inland Port facility.

Our purpose-built Dunedin office and warehouse is an eco-friendly facility sitting on an impressive 5000m2 site with a large yard for containers and our fleet. The building boasts a modern high stud design, is energy efficient being 100% solar powered, has LED lighting throughout, is prewired for electric vehicle charging , and has large weather protection canopies for unloading and loading containers. The warehouse facility is fully bonded by New Zealand Customs and MPI for Quarantine, with the latest security monitoring options.

“Congratulations to the Dunedin team! This is a significant milestone for our business and demonstrates that we are focused on growth and sustainable practices with market leading facilities, whilst delivering operational productivity and efficiency that new modern facilities bring. It’s an awesome facility and one of the finest in the area, with a lot of local positive commentary about how good it looks.  Mark, our owner had significant involvement in the design and features, providing an awesome environment for our Dunedin team” says Nathan Baker, National Regional Manager.

How To Prepare Your Move In 10 Easy Steps

Posted on | by New Zealand Movers

Moving homes can seem like a big task – especially if you’re right at the start of the process. But the truth is, with the right game-plan, moving homes is a simple, straightforward process which we’re confident you’ll succeed in.

Here, the expert moving company, New Zealand Movers, outlines 10 easy steps to prepare your move, breaking up that hill into small, achievable stages.

1. Make a timeline

Outline each task in a calendar so that you can visualise the timeline of your move. This will help reaching your goals on time.

2. Start purging your belongings

Moving house is the perfect chance to get rid of some items you simply don’t use or need anymore. You can start doing this weeks or even months ahead of the move.

3. Rug cleaning

If you’ve got rugs and carpets that haven’t been cleaned in a while, it’s a good idea to have them professionally cleaned before moving house. Don’t transfer all that dust and dirt from your old home to your new one!

4. Hire your movers

Hire your movers early. Good quality movers tend to book out quickly, so it’s best to hire your preferred movers at least six weeks before moving day.

5. Cleaning the new home

Before you’ve got the obstructions of furniture and personal belongings in your new home, it’s certainly smart to clean it while it’s empty. This allows you to get into all the nooks and crannies with ease.

6. Schedule utilities for the new place

There’s nothing worse than thinking you’ve absolutely had a successful move and when you go to turn the lights on in your new place, nothing happens. Schedule utilities well before moving day.

7. Pack an essentials bag

Not everything in your home will be going into the moving van. Keep your essentials like medications, phone, wallet, keys, etc. in a separate bag to take with you.

8. Make the most of services offered by your moving company

Enlist some help with packing and unpacking if your moving company can do this for you. New Zealand Movers offer packing, unpacking, storage and pet transport to make your life easier.

9. Notifying change of address

Now it’s time to spread the word about your change of address. Inform your government services, friends, family, utility providers and any other stakeholders that you’re moving homes.

10. Making your house a home

Your furniture is all set up and it’s time to unpack while making your house a home. Light a candle, place your photos around the house, and treat yourself to some new houseplants.

New Zealand Movers can help you move from A to B in an easy, stress-free way. The team at New Zealand Movers have high quality equipment and experienced staff, moving you across the street or across the world. Grab yourself a quote and book in quick!

What To Do With Pets During A Move?

Posted on | by New Zealand Movers

Planning to move houses, but you’ve got a pet? Of course you’ll be able to take your beloved animal with you to your brand new home, and embark on a whole new series of adventures with them!

So, what’s the best way to handle pets when you’re moving homes? Thankfully, the team at New Zealand Movers have over 40 years of experience in moving households with pets and are experts in the field. Let’s discuss how to move homes when you have pets:

Choosing a home that accommodates for your pet

Before you sign the lease of your new place, ensure that it’s suitable for your pet or, if not, can be easily altered to accommodate for your pet. This might include fenced-off backyards for dogs or an appropriate amount of space for your cats.

Packing the home

Packing the home can present a challenge for homeowners with pets. Pets can often become excitable or anxious when the home is being packed up, as they can sense that there’s a big change coming!

Cats, in particular, aren’t big fans of change. It’s a good idea to keep cats, along with skittish dogs, in a familiar room which you’re intending to pack up last. This way, they won’t be as affected by watching the whole house being packed up, and they won’t try to run away while your movers and packers are in action.

Keeping them at a friend’s house

If this method isn’t feasible (studio apartments, for example), then you can always politely ask a friend to look after your fur baby for the day. This can make the transition a lot easier, since they’ll have someone to occupy them and comfort them while you pack up the home.

Acclimatising pets to their crates

Moving to a different city? Your pet will most likely be spending time in a crate. Pets need time to acclimatise to their crates, since many haven’t spent too much time within one. Start by placing their favourite treat in the crate to help with positive association. Then, you can place their meals inside the crate and let them eat, but have the door closed. Finally, try carrying them around the house inside their crate, or take a short drive. This will help reduce their stress during the long journey to their new home.

New Zealand Movers are specialists in moving homes with pets. They understand the significance of moving homes as a pet owner, and do everything to make the move a comfortable and stress-free one. New Zealand Movers can help you and your fur baby get settled in your brand home, whether you’re on the North Island, South Island, or somewhere across the globe.

Expat’s Guide To Living In Los Angeles

Posted on | by New Zealand Movers

There’s no other place in the world like Los Angeles. There are cities that are bigger, but none of them match the energy that this sprawling, unique, beautiful city has to offer. Whether you’re moving to LA for business ventures, to get a head start on your acting career, or for something completely different, the City of Angels has something for everybody.

New Zealand Movers have helped many Kiwis trade in their quiet home towns for the sleepless metropolis of Los Angeles. Here, the team at New Zealand Movers compile what they’ve learned over 40 years of moving Kiwis to Los Angeles. This is your expat’s guide to living in LA!

Choose your neighbourhood wisely

LA is a huge place, with a population of over 13 million people. And unlike other metropolises like New York or Hong Kong, Los Angeles is spread out; people generally live in homes rather than dense apartment blocks. This means there are hundreds of neighbourhoods to choose from, each with their own characteristics that make them beautiful. Families are attracted to the safe, convenient locations of Culver City and Diamond Bar. For young professionals, it’s all about hip neighbourhoods like West Hollywood (WeHo, for short), Venice Beach and Santa Monica. There are so many great suburbs in Los Angeles, so it’s up to you to do your research and pick the perfect spot.

Climate in Los Angeles

For those who love the sunshine, LA has got you covered in it. Year-round sunshine and warm weather is what you can expect as an expat living in Los Angeles, thanks to the city’s distinctly Mediterranean climate. If you were thinking about a white Christmas, you’ll have to head further north; it’s not uncommon for Christmas Day to be 27-28 degrees Celsius in Los Angeles.

Job-seeking in Los Angeles

It’s easier to move to Los Angeles, and America in general, when you’ve already got a job lined up. As soon as you have employment arranged, it takes the pressure out of obtaining visas and navigating the US’s rules around staying in the country on a tourist visa. If you’re planning to find work when you arrive, this is possible too, but you’re only given a period of three months on your tourist visa before you have to gain employment or exit the country.

Getting comfortable in LA

The way to make yourself comfortable when moving to a new place is to research and prepare accordingly. You want to start off on the right foot, so that everything falls in its right place immediately. The way most Kiwis do this is by calling New Zealand Movers on: 0800 000 022

NZ Movers are the nation’s finest team for international relocations. Transporting your belongings across the Pacific with absolutely zero fuss, the team at New Zealand Movers want to make your move to Los Angeles as easy as possible. For over 40 years, their team has helped countless others to relocate to North America, as well as every other continent on the globe… apart from Antarctica, of course.

Moving House? We’ve Got Some Handy Hints

Posted on | by New Zealand Movers

Moving house is quite a subjective experience. Some may look at it as a super easy task, and others can view as one of the most difficult. But the truth? Both of these ways of thinking can lead to pitfalls when moving house!

That’s why it’s best to take an informed, measured approach to moving house – rather than viewing it as either easy or hard.

However, New Zealand Movers are here to make it easy for you when moving house. Here, their team outline some handy hints when moving house.

Choose a team with experience

A moving team is the first thing to look for when you’re moving house. Professional movers are essential for any type of home-dweller: whether you’re a student, a large family or a couple of retirees. Professional movers with years of proper experience are what you’re looking for. New Zealand Movers have been conducting local, inter-city and international moves for over 40 years, making them one of New Zealand’s most experienced companies across all three types of moving house.

Consider storage facilities if you need them

When moving house, one of the handiest hints we can give you is to make the most of storage facilities. Many people find that not quite all of their belongings fit or are suited to their new home. In these circumstances, you’re just going to give you belongings away or leave them behind; storage facilities help you with a temporary solution to holding your possessions while you think about the reconfiguration of the new home.

Insurance policies

It may not be the most exciting part of moving homes, but it’s certainly one of the most important: insurance. A good professional mover will have a clear, straightforward insurance options for keeping your belongings covered should something unlikely or unexpected occur. Choose a reputable moving service with a comprehensive insurance policy so that, no matter where you’re going, you can arrive there, stress-free.

Don’t fret over packing

Are you the type of person who gets stressed over packing for a weekend trip, let alone packing the whole house up? You’re not alone in that feeling. That’s why so many Kiwis choose professional packers when moving houses. Professional packers are expertly trained in the art of packing up a home. They use specific techniques and methods to pack your house systematically and unpack it in the new home.

For more handy hints when moving homes, just call New Zealand Movers. They’re one of New Zealand’s best moving companies, offering full-service moves with insurance, packing, storage and more.
