Navigating the Journey
Travelling from Sydney to the Gold Coast isn’t just about covering a long distance; it’s about understanding the communities at either end. The route follows the Pacific Motorway through the Central Coast, Coffs Harbour and Byron Bay before crossing the Tweed River into Queensland. According to industry data, an average Sydney–Gold Coast move involves roughly 14 cubic metres of belongings and costs around $2,100. Distance and volume aren’t the only factors; access conditions in beachside suburbs like Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach can be challenging due to narrow streets and limited parking. Our team evaluates your addresses and schedules appropriate trucks and crew to avoid delays.
Once you arrive, you’ll find the Gold Coast offers more than sun and surf. Locals describe a laid‑back yet vibrant lifestyle where golden beaches meet lush hinterland and welcoming communities. Markets, festivals and scenic trails invite newcomers to explore, and there’s always time to enjoy a coffee or a swim after a day’s work. Whether you’re relocating for work, study or a fresh start, our movers deliver your belongings safely so you can settle into Queensland life quickly.

My partner and I have just used Optimove removals for a double move – stuff out of my house to storage whilst another truck at his place to bring his furniture and belongings to here and more to storage. We went with them based on price and a promise of ‘great care’
The removalist service has been fantastic. The boys all moved fast on both crews, were so easy to deal with, and I’ll be honest I can’t remember the last time I saw everything plastic and or blanket wrapped so well to completely protect everything we have. I would HIGHLY recommend these guys. Jacqueline Nagle
“By far the best removalists I have used. Adam and Chris were fantastic. On time, polite, energetic, fast and careful with all of my furniture. Reasonably priced and very efficient .” Jessie Mariee Watson, 29 August 2016
“I couldn’t have been happier with my choice of Optimove to shift a lot of my precious belongings into storage. The removal team phoned me to give an estimated time of arrival and when they arrived no time was wasted. The 2 removalists were fast and efficient. I was very impressed and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for removalists and would have no hesitation in employing their services again.” Sue Bertram, 19 August 2016
“Best removal company we have ever used. Optimove removals is a great moving company, two nice lads who moved at a good pace. Everything was well looked after and arrived in perfect condition. Very good prices, next time you are looking to move to a new location check these removalists out. Better than a hiring a truck and moving your own stuff by a long way. On time, polite, no hidden costs – the most energetic men ever!!!!!” Kirsten Maria Corin, 2 August 2016
“On Saturday just gone, Adam and Chris from Optimove did an outstanding job in moving us from Burleigh Heads to Cornubia. They worked tirelessly without stopping for 5-6 hours until the job was done, whilst taking absolute care of all our possessions. They were friendly, honest and just downright good blokes. I high recommend Optimove.” Glen Read, 18 July 2016
“Just wanted to take a second to say a big thank you to the team at Optimove. The guys that arrived on the day were so friendly, helpful and professional. I couldn’t believe that when they said everything would get wrapped and protected that it actually happened. I have moved several times in the past but I found these guys definitely stood out amongst the rest with their speed and professionalism…” Carly Turner, 9 July 2016
