Your Moving Checklist for Sunshine, VIC

Moving can be one of life’s most stressful experiences—but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re relocating across Melbourne or downsizing within Sunshine North, planning ahead and having the right storage solution can make all the difference. That’s where Roomia Sunshine comes in—offering modern, secure, and affordable self storage just 15km from the Melbourne CBD.

Use this moving checklist as your go-to guide for a smooth transition, and discover how our storage units in Sunshine can help you get sorted—faster, cheaper, and with zero stress.

 

1. Start Planning Early

Start your moving plan at least 4–6 weeks in advance. List what you’re keeping, donating, selling, and what needs temporary or long-term storage. If you’re not sure how much space you’ll need, try our interactive storage size guide.

• Label boxes clearly
• Set aside essentials for quick access
• Book your storage unit early to secure the best rate

3. Pack Like a Pro

Using the right materials will protect your items and make unpacking easier. Roomia’s Box Shop offers everything you need—boxes, tape, mattress covers, locks, and more.

Pro tip:

• Fill boxes completely to avoid collapse
• Use bubble wrap or towels to cushion fragile items
• Store heavier items at the bottom, lighter items on top

 

4. Choose a Storage Location with Visibility & Access

When it comes to storage in Sunshine, location matters. Roomia Sunshine is strategically positioned with prime visibility to McIntyre Road and access to Berkshire Road, making it easy to reach from suburbs like Braybrook, Albion, Keilor, and beyond.

It’s also just minutes from Sunshine Plaza, Bunnings, and key arterial roads like Ballarat Road and the Western Ring Road—making Roomia a natural choice for convenience and accessibility.

 

5. Use Smart, Secure Storage Features

With burglary and property damage claims on the rise during moves, storing your goods somewhere safe and secure is non-negotiable. Roomia Sunshine offers state-of-the-art security including:

• Keyless Bluetooth access
• Individual alarms on every unit
• 24/7 CCTV monitoring
• Elevated site with open visibility from passing traffic

You can even securely share access with friends, family, or removalists without handing over a key.

 

6. Declutter Before You Unpack

Studies show the average Australian household has 301,000 items—many of which go unused. Instead of packing clutter into your new home, put it in storage and declutter at your own pace. Learn more about how personal storage can help you reclaim your space.

Sunshine North is one of Melbourne’s fastest-growing residential zones, with a population of over 13,500 and access to more than 208,000 people in the broader Brimbank City Council area. With affordable housing and new developments drawing new residents, storage is becoming essential.

 

8. Take Advantage of Local Amenities & Connectivity

From shopping centres like Highpoint Shopping Centre and Sunshine Marketplace, to local retail powerhouses like Bunnings and nearby educational hubs like Victoria University, Roomia’s location puts you in the centre of it all.
