Bundeena is ringed by the Royal National Park, so a removal truck reaches it only by the long loop through the park, in via Audley and roughly 10 km of Sir Bertram Stevens Drive, because the Cronulla ferry carries foot passengers only. · Cronulla Ferries
Moving in Bundeena
Bundeena is the move people most often get wrong, because it looks close to Cronulla across Port Hacking and is anything but. The village is surrounded by the Royal National Park, and the Cronulla ferry, the vintage MV Curranulla, carries foot passengers only, so it cannot take your furniture. A removal to Bundeena goes the long way by road: in off the Princes Highway, through the park via Audley, across Audley Weir and roughly ten kilometres along Sir Bertram Stevens Drive, then onto Bundeena Drive into town. It is a slow, winding park drive with its own speed limits and wildlife, so the timing of that run, not the parking, is what we plan, and there is usually room to park once we arrive. We pick a quiet window before the park fills with day-trippers and run the move around the one road in. Tell us the address and we will plan the park run and the day around it from the start.
Reading the access in Bundeena
Every Bundeena move starts with the access, because that is what decides the truck, the crew and the timing. Here is what we plan around:
- Surrounded by the Royal National Park; reached only by the long park road via Audley and Sir Bertram Stevens Drive
- The Cronulla ferry (the MV Curranulla) carries foot passengers only and cannot take furniture
- The timing of the slow, winding park drive matters more than the parking
- Usually room to park at the home once the truck arrives
The loading window here
There is usually room to park at the home, so the kerb is rarely the problem here.
Weekday: Best on a weekday morning, before the park road carries weekend day-trippers and the drive slows.
Summer weekend: Summer weekends pack the Royal National Park road, so we run early or pick a weekday to keep the long drive moving.
The constraint is the Royal National Park road, not crowds, and it slows when the park is busy. Run the full loading plan →
Parking and Council permits for a peninsula move
For a standard household move you generally will not need a Council permit on the Cronulla peninsula. We use the legal kerb or a marked loading zone and time the truck to the day, scouting the spot first where it is tight. A Sutherland Shire Council approval applies only when something stands on the road or footpath: a skip bin, hoarding or scaffolding, or a length of kerb set aside as a work zone, which all sit under Council's Approval to Undertake Works on or Near Roads (Roads Act 1993). A crane or elevated work platform working from the road needs Council approval to operate in a public place as well. These carry a fee and a lead time, so check the current cost and how far ahead to apply with Sutherland Shire Council before you book one. In the Cronulla town centre, remember the beachfront kerb runs to a time limit on summer weekends, so we load early.
