Moving to Brisbane, Australia: What to Expect
Life in Brisbane
Brisbane is an increasingly popular Australian city for UK expats. With over 280 days of sunshine a year, friendly communities, and a laid-back lifestyle, life in Brisbane is vibrant and fulfilling. Brisbane is the gateway to wider Queensland, which includes picturesque beaches, mountain ranges, and the Great Barrier Reef.
The city’s friendly culture and outdoor-focused lifestyle make it ideal for individuals and families alike. Residents often spend weekends at local markets, coastal walks, and national parks just a short drive away. Public events, music festivals, and outdoor cinema nights are regular occurrences.
Rent in Brisbane and Property Prices
Compared to Sydney and Melbourne, rent in Brisbane is more affordable. Property prices are rising steadily, yet remain accessible. Areas like Camp Hill, Carindale, and Springfield offer family-friendly neighbourhoods, while suburbs like West End and New Farm appeal to professionals.
Rental demand has increased in recent years due to population growth and interstate migration, so it’s advisable to secure housing early. Burke Bros partners with real estate experts who can help you shortlist suitable rental properties before you arrive.
Education and Culture
Brisbane boasts world-class universities, including the University of Queensland and Griffith University. Families benefit from a broad range of public and private schools. Culture lovers can explore the Queensland Museum, art galleries, and year-round festivals that make Brisbane such a dynamic place to live.
The city’s education system offers diverse curriculum options, including IB programmes and Montessori schooling. Brisbane’s institutions also support new arrivals through orientation sessions, language support and pastoral care services.
Transport, Ferries, and the City Centre
Brisbane’s transport infrastructure includes buses, trains, and ferries, providing an efficient way to explore the city. The city centre is easily accessible, offering a blend of commercial and leisure facilities. Cycling routes are also popular for local commuting.
Brisbane’s CityCat ferry service is not only efficient but offers scenic routes along the Brisbane River. Affordable with a Go Card, ferries are often a preferred option for both daily commuting and leisurely travel.
International Shipping and Packing Options
Container and Packing Services
We understand that no two moves are alike. That’s why we offer flexible international shipping solutions to suit your timeline and budget:
- Full Container Load (FCL): A 20ft or 40ft container dedicated to your belongings
- Less than Container Load (LCL): Ideal for smaller shipments
Our expert team uses high-quality packing materials to ensure your items are secure during transit. We handle all container shipping logistics, from pick-up in the UK to arrival at your Brisbane destination.
Each shipment is monitored through a secure tracking system, offering full visibility and peace of mind throughout your move.
Average Removal Time from The UK to Brisbane
The average removal time from the UK to Brisbane typically ranges from 8 to 12 weeks, depending on shipping schedules, customs processing, and your selected service level. Your move manager will provide you with detailed tracking updates throughout the process.
Customs and Clearance Support for Australia
Customs Requirements and Documentation
Australia enforces strict import regulations, and our experienced team ensures that all required customs paperwork is correctly completed. We advise on restricted and prohibited items and help you understand tax implications and quarantine protocols.
Customs Clearance in Brisbane
Our dedicated staff and local partners will oversee all stages of customs clearance upon your shipment’s arrival in Brisbane. Whether it’s personal effects, furniture, or specialist equipment, we ensure everything meets Australian Border Force standards.
