Access is generally good — regular driveways or heritage kerbs — so the plan is about parking position, the carry and timing, not gravel or gradient.
Moving in McGraths Hill
McGraths Hill is a small settlement on the flat river plain between Windsor and the river, and at around twelve metres above sea level it is the lowest-lying of the towns we cover. It is a compact suburb of standalone homes on Andrew Thompson Drive and the streets around it, with the highway and the Windsor town centre both close by. Access for a move is generally easy — regular driveways, room to park, single-storey homes you can back right up to — so the planning here is less about the property and more about position on the plain. In a settled week McGraths Hill is one of the simpler moves in the valley. In a genuinely wet spell, like anywhere on the low river flat, we keep an eye on the forecast and the river so a moving day is not caught out by road access; most of the time that is a non-issue, and it is just a straightforward town move.

Parking, permits and access in the Hawkesbury
Unlike the inner-city councils, the Hawkesbury doesn’t run a removalist “works-zone” permit system — out here the real constraint isn’t a parking bay, it’s the gate: the driveway, the turning circle and the ground. Where a truck needs to sit on a narrow rural road or a heritage street, we plan legal, safe positioning and the right timing on the day. If a particular job needs anything from council — a skip, or a road or footpath occupation — we sort that out with you first, so nothing on move day is a surprise.
