Frenchs Forest
Frenchs Forest, with neighbouring Belrose, is the inland, bushland-fringe part of the Northern Beaches, and that sets it apart from the coastal suburbs. This is larger-block, family-home country on the bush edge, home to the Northern Beaches Hospital and the Glenrose centre, and the moves are mostly whole-house jobs on generous blocks.

Moving in Frenchs Forest
Frenchs Forest, with neighbouring Belrose, is the inland, bushland-fringe part of the Northern Beaches, and that sets it apart from the coastal suburbs. This is larger-block, family-home country on the bush edge, home to the Northern Beaches Hospital and the Glenrose centre, and the moves are mostly whole-house jobs on generous blocks. Being inland, it has no beach access challenge and no B-Line, but it has its own routing catch: the suburb is served by the Wakehurst Parkway and Forest Way, and the Wakehurst Parkway floods and is under an $85 million upgrade with major roadworks from mid-2026, so the main corridors here can be disrupted by wet weather and works. The larger blocks can also mean long driveways and a carry from the street, so we plan the staging and the carry route. There is no train anywhere on the beaches, so it is a road move on these inland corridors, and we keep an eye on the Wakehurst status for timing. It is a settled, family-held area where careful whole-house moves are the norm.
Where Frenchs Forest sits on the run to the city
The Northern Beaches is the only major Sydney region with no train or metro, so every move is a road move. And the road climbs a real 27 km from the southern beaches (13.1 km at Balgowlah) up to Palm Beach (40.2 km) at the tip — one way in, one way out. That gradient is why a far-north move is a different job from a Manly one. Frenchs Forest is about 18.2 km from the CBD by road.

Frenchs Forest removals: common questions
How is moving in inland Frenchs Forest different from the coast?
It swaps the beach access challenge for a bushland-block one. There is no metered beachfront or narrow surf street here, but the larger blocks can mean long driveways and a carry from the street, so we plan the staging and the carry route and crew for the distance. The routing catch is the Wakehurst Parkway, which floods and has roadworks from mid-2026, so we watch its status for timing.
Do the roadworks on the Wakehurst Parkway affect my move?
They can affect timing. The Wakehurst Parkway is one of the main corridors serving Frenchs Forest and Belrose, and an $85 million upgrade brings major roadworks from mid-2026, on top of the flooding it sees in wet weather. We keep an eye on the Parkway and Forest Way and plan the route and timing around any disruption.
Do you handle large family homes on bushland blocks here?
Yes, that is the typical Frenchs Forest job. These are settled, family-held homes on generous blocks, often whole-house moves where people have been in the home a long time. We plan the driveway and carry, crew for the volume, and protect floors, frames and contents on the way through. Send a photo with your quote and we will tell you what is involved.
How much does a Frenchs Forest move cost?
Our rates start at $250/hour for two movers and a truck ($350 for three, $500 for a larger crew with two trucks), and you get a clear indicative quote up front for your specific move. No surprises on the day.
