Macquarie Park is newer apartment towers around the Metro and university precinct. A 2-bed apartment with lift is $600–$900 + GST at $150/hr; a 1-bed is $450–$600 + GST. Nearly every move here is a tower job — service-lift bookings and student-turnover timing are the variables.

Moving in Macquarie Park
What Macquarie Park actually involves.
Macquarie Park 2113 sits in the City of Ryde around Macquarie University, Macquarie Centre and the Sydney Metro. The residential side is dominated by newer apartment towers built since the 2010s along Waterloo Road, Lachlan's Line and the Metro corridor, serving the university and the business park.
Nearly every Macquarie Park move is a tower job with a booked service-lift window and loading dock. The university drives student turnover at semester start and end (late Feb, late Nov) — book 3–4 weeks ahead for those windows. Give us the building name.
The Metro (Macquarie Park, Macquarie University stations) and the M2 connect the precinct. Epping Road and Lane Cove Road are the arteries. Weekday mid-morning is cleanest for dock access.

Representative move
A typical Macquarie Park move.
2-bed apartment · off Waterloo Road · 4.5 hours · $675 + GST
A common Macquarie Park job: a 2-bedroom apartment in one of the towers near the metro and the university off Waterloo Road, high floor with a service lift booked for a set window.
Two movers and a truck, four and a half hours — 4.5 × $150 = $675 + GST. The lift window set the pace; a single carry to the lift at each end.
Pattern: in the Macquarie Park towers around Waterloo and Herring Roads, the lift booking runs the day. Two movers suits most 1- and 2-bed apartments; three for a full three-bedroom.
