Removalists St Ives Chase.
Only accessible via St Ives, no through traffic, national park on the northern edge. The Upper North Shore's most enclosed suburb.
St Ives Chase is a bushland suburb on the Upper North Shore, 18 kilometres north-west of the Sydney CBD in the Ku-ring-gai Council area. It is distinct from St Ives to its south, covering the area approximately north of Toolang Road and west of Kuringai Creek. The suburb grew from St Ives after 1950 as the central shopping and arterial road areas expanded into the hilltop and valley sections bordering Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to the north. The name St Ives itself is thought to have been applied either after the town of St Ives in Cornwall, or after Isaac Ellis Ives, a Member of the Legislative Assembly for St Leonards from 1885 to 1889 who worked hard to secure a post office and school for the district.
St Ives Chase's homes are almost entirely detached - large family properties on generous bushland blocks, with established gardens and long driveways. Properties here are substantial and long-held, and the moves reflect that.
St Ives Chase has a population of around 3,283 and a median household income of approximately $3,306 per week - among the highest in the Ku-ring-gai area. The suburb is almost entirely freestanding family homes on large blocks. The small shopping complex on Warrimoo Avenue has a medical centre, convenience store, pharmacy, pizza restaurant, and hairdresser - a compact but functional local strip. Warrimoo Oval is the home of the St Ives Football Club and also has a North St Ives Scouts hall. Toolang Oval hosts junior football and cricket. Bus routes 195 to Gordon railway station and 194/594 to the city provide public transport links.
One access road in and one access road out - Billy or Jet always plans a St Ives Chase job around that constraint, because the truck's position at the end of the day depends on how the approach was set up at the start.
Warrimoo Avenue single-access, national park boundary streets, and moving in a no-through-traffic suburb
The single-road-in nature of St Ives Chase is the primary access consideration for any move. All truck approaches and departures go via Warrimoo Avenue from the St Ives end - there is no alternative route. This is not a problem in practical terms because the suburb's no-through-traffic character means the road is quiet and there are no competing users for the space. A removal truck can position freely on Warrimoo Avenue and the connecting residential streets without the congestion concerns that apply in suburbs with more complex road networks. Billy plans the truck route in and out via Warrimoo Avenue for every St Ives Chase job.
The streets on the northern edge of St Ives Chase that back directly onto Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park are the specific access consideration. These streets end at the park boundary and have no turning space at their ends for a large truck. The vegetation overhanging some of these park-edge roads can also affect truck clearance. For any St Ives Chase address in the northern sections near the park boundary, Billy identifies the safe parking point for the truck and the carry distance from there before moving day.
The large homes on generous blocks that characterise St Ives Chase mean the volume per move is typically substantial. Long-term family occupation of a four or five-bedroom home on a large block generates the kind of furniture and possession density that requires careful crew and truck planning. Billy assesses the likely volume and plans the crew size accordingly at quoting stage. The suburb's high household income and premium property profile mean moves here often involve high-value furniture that benefits from the full wrapping and blanket protection that a professional crew brings.

Common questions about moving in St Ives Chase
Yes - by road, St Ives Chase can only be accessed via St Ives. Warrimoo Avenue is the main route into the suburb and there is no through road or alternative exit. This makes the suburb very quiet - no through traffic - but means all removal truck approaches and departures use the same entry point. Billy plans every St Ives Chase job via Warrimoo Avenue from the St Ives end.
The streets that back onto Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park on the northern edge of the suburb dead-end at the park boundary with no turning space for a large truck. Billy identifies the safe parking point and carry distance for any address in these streets at quoting stage.

Two locals, not a call centre.
When you book a St Ives Chase move, Billy or Jet runs it personally - not a call centre handing you off to whoever's free. They know St Ives Chase's single-access street layout well enough to plan the truck position and the day before it starts, not figure it out on the morning. On bigger jobs they bring in their own trusted, experienced team, but Billy or Jet is always on site - sometimes both of them. Either way, there's always a named person from The Movers Company accountable for your move. Every item is wrapped and carried properly, and your home - doorframes, walls, floors, at both ends - is protected the whole way through. Fully insured by QBE. No deposit, no cancellation fees.
