East Gippsland Shire stretches between 280 and 550 kilometres from the Melbourne CBD and is managed by East Gippsland Shire Council, based in Bairnsdale.

Movers in East Gippsland Who Know the Area
- One of Victoria’s largest shires. East Gippsland Shire covers the second-largest area of any municipality in Victoria, and its towns sit between 280 and 550 kilometres from Melbourne. A move to Bairnsdale and a move to Mallacoota need very different plans. Your written quote sets out loading, driving and unloading time for your specific addresses.
- Raymond Island and the Paynesville ferry. The Raymond Island Ferry is the vehicle and pedestrian link between Raymond Island and Paynesville. East Gippsland Shire Council notes that certain vehicles can have trouble accessing the ferry when water levels are too high or too low. If you are moving to or from Raymond Island, we check ferry access and plan the right truck before the day.
- Mallacoota and the far east. Mallacoota is one of the most isolated towns in Victoria, about 523 kilometres and six hours from Melbourne and 25 kilometres off the Princes Highway via Genoa. A move this far needs careful planning for driving time, rest breaks and arrival. We confirm route conditions before the day, especially during the warmer months.
- Life around the Gippsland Lakes. Most of the shire’s population lives along the coastal fringe around the Gippsland Lakes, with Bairnsdale as the largest commercial centre and Lakes Entrance as the largest tourist centre. Lakeside homes can have narrow streets, steep blocks or limited parking. We confirm access and loading space for both addresses before the day.
