Difficult Access Areas

 Difficult Access Areas (Downtown/CBD/High Rise Areas) 

Downtown/CBD Areas

Certain areas of the main cities in Australia, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane have “Downtown” or “CBD” (Central Business District) areas which are the main commercial areas with predominantly high rise office and apartment buildings.

These “city” areas have very strict parking restrictions and often require out of hours deliveries or collections.  In almost all cases special arrangements need to be made regarding access/use of shuttles/long carries/elevator usage and in some cases “parking permits” although those permits are not as readily available as they are in the UK, Europe etc.

If exact addresses are provided at the time of rate request we will endeavour to outline the likely potential for and level of “access charges” to assist you to transparently raise them as an issue with your client and sell against your competition who may not address them (then hit them later with extra charges on arrival in Australia).

In addition to the Downtown or CBD areas, there are city and near city areas with predominantly high rise apartment complexes which offer similar access challenges.

These areas include (but are not limited to) –
