The inner north and inner east are the difficult part. Fitzroy, Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond and Brunswick combine single-lane streets, bluestone laneways, permit parking and tram infrastructure, and a 26-metre carrier is simply not getting down most of them. We work those collections with a smaller unit or an agreed meeting point on a main road. The western and northern growth corridors, the south-east and the Mornington Peninsula are all easy access. Worth knowing if you are moving here: the Victorian roadworthy certificate is materially tougher than any other state's inspection, so budget for the possibility of repair work on an older vehicle.
