Dunedin has some of the most extreme topographical gradients and unique access issues of any New Zealand city. Planning for a move to Dunedin requires more than just following the GPS:
Steep Hillside Suburbs & Access
In some suburbs like Roslyn, Belleknowes & Mornington and the steep hillsides of North East Valley and Pine Hill, large 50 m³ linehaul pantechnicons may not be able to park or reverse safely on narrow hillside rights-of-way. CityMove measures driveway gradients & sends out small shuttle trucks to reduce access delay.
Heritage Villas & Long Step Walk-Ups
Visit the historic villas of Maori Hill, City Rise and St Clair, and you'll find narrow verandas and small hallways. How will we preserve those carefully finished wood details and fragile furniture? Armed with thick transit blankets, Doorframe Armour and stair-lift gear, our crews are ready to defend every inch of the space.
