Moving day in Kensington: parking, skips and unwanted furniture

Kensington is in the area of the City of Melbourne. Here’s what it publishes about moving day.

  • The City of Melbourne’s reserved parking permits cover removalists when off-street parking isn’t suitable. Apply at least five clear business days ahead; residents get 50% off for a removalist outside their own home.
  • A skip on a public road needs a skip permit, which the skip company applies for. Reserved parking permits don’t cover skips.
  • The City asks residents to donate, give away or sell hard-waste items in good condition before booking a collection.

In Victoria, it’s illegal to put e-waste in household rubbish, so take old electronics to an e-waste drop-off.
