Guide To Moving To Regional Australia

Are you considering escaping the hustle and bustle of an overcrowded big city for a more laid back regional Australia lifestyle? With a fast-changing world, more and more Aussies are now making the switch than ever before. While it’s true that moving can be a challenge, when you move to regional Australia, it can be even more difficult.

If you’re used to city living, then it’s likely you are in for a huge culture shock, as regional living brings with it a completely different way of life. To transition to your new surroundings, it’s essential to be prepared for such a big and drastic move.

For relaxed, stress-freecountry moves, talk toOptimove today.

Regional Australia Moving Guide

We’re here to help you adjust to your new life with this guide to moving to regional Australia.

Mentally Prepare For Your Move

You’ll first need to think about moving to a regional town. This means uprooting your life to a much smaller area than you may be used to. You should expect that it may be a lot quieter and slower-paced than what you are used to.

More Affordable Property Prices

Moving to regional Australia means that homes are usually larger. Properties have more space and bigger yards, as well as being more affordable. In large cities like Sydney and Melbourne, property prices are at all-time highs. It’s become almost impossible for families to buy a house or apartment in big cities anymore. Luckily, there are still many affordable properties in regional areas, with an excellent quality of life.

Relaxation, Peace and Quiet

While some people may enjoy the hustle and bustle of city living, you can happily say goodbye to noise during all hours of the day and night. Regional living provides a more relaxed, peaceful, and quieter lifestyle. These days it’s something many people are finding more appealing.

Goodbye Traffic

Being in a city usually means more stress while driving due to all day and night traffic. There are more cars on the road, bumper to bumper commutes, and constant car horns. In regional Australia, traffic is a lot more relaxed, and everything is also within driving distance. Another benefit of reduced traffic is cleaner air due and less pollution.

Strong Community Spirit

With so many people in big cities, it’s often easy to feel completely anonymous. Like a stranger, even in places you frequently visit. Luckily, there are active, strong communities in regional areas, and everyone is made to feel welcome and included. There’s always some events happening around town, and friendly locals are always happy to say hello and stop for a chat in the street.

Activities

In regional towns, you can find activities to suit your interests. These include sporting groups, book clubs, walking groups, community choirs, playgroups, and many more. You can also connect with like-minded locals within your area online and build strong friendships. Facebook Groups and Meetup are a great way to meet new people. You can even start your own groups for any hobbies or interests you have.

My partner and I have just used Optimove removals for a double move – stuff out of my house to storage whilst another truck at his place to bring his furniture and belongings to here and more to storage. We went with them based on price and a promise of ‘great care’

The removalist service has been fantastic. The boys all moved fast on both crews, were so easy to deal with, and I’ll be honest I can’t remember the last time I saw everything plastic and or blanket wrapped so well to completely protect everything we have. I would HIGHLY recommend these guys. Jacqueline Nagle

“By far the best removalists I have used. Adam and Chris were fantastic. On time, polite, energetic, fast and careful with all of my furniture. Reasonably priced and very efficient .” Jessie Mariee Watson, 29 August 2016

“I couldn’t have been happier with my choice of Optimove to shift a lot of my precious belongings into storage. The removal team phoned me to give an estimated time of arrival and when they arrived no time was wasted. The 2 removalists were fast and efficient. I was very impressed and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for removalists and would have no hesitation in employing their services again.” Sue Bertram, 19 August 2016

“Best removal company we have ever used. Optimove removals is a great moving company, two nice lads who moved at a good pace. Everything was well looked after and arrived in perfect condition. Very good prices, next time you are looking to move to a new location check these removalists out. Better than a hiring a truck and moving your own stuff by a long way. On time, polite, no hidden costs – the most energetic men ever!!!!!” Kirsten Maria Corin, 2 August 2016

“On Saturday just gone, Adam and Chris from Optimove did an outstanding job in moving us from Burleigh Heads to Cornubia. They worked tirelessly without stopping for 5-6 hours until the job was done, whilst taking absolute care of all our possessions. They were friendly, honest and just downright good blokes. I high recommend Optimove.” Glen Read, 18 July 2016

“Just wanted to take a second to say a big thank you to the team at Optimove. The guys that arrived on the day were so friendly, helpful and professional. I couldn’t believe that when they said everything would get wrapped and protected that it actually happened. I have moved several times in the past but I found these guys definitely stood out amongst the rest with their speed and professionalism…” Carly Turner, 9 July 2016
