Docklands is an inner-city suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, on the western end of the central business district. Docklands had a population of 15,495 at the 2021 census.
Primarily a waterfront area centred on the banks of the Yarra River, it is bounded by Spencer Street, Wurundjeri Way and Montague Street to the east, the Yarra River and Moonee Ponds Creek to the west, Footscray Road and Dynon Road to the north and Lorimer Street, Boundary Road and the West Gate Freeway across the Yarra River to the south.
The site of modern-day Docklands was originally swamp land that in the 1880s became a bustling dock area as part of the Port of Melbourne, with an extensive network of wharfs, heavy rail infrastructure and light industry. Following the containerisation of shipping traffic, Docklands fell into disuse and by the 1990s was virtually abandoned, making it the focal point of Melbourne's underground rave scene. The construction of Docklands Stadium in the late 1990s attracted developer interest in the area, and urban renewal began in earnest in 2000 with several independent privately developed areas overseen by VicUrban, an agency of the Victorian Government. Docklands subsequently experienced an apartment boom and became a sought-after business address, attracting the national headquarters of, among others, the National Australia Bank, ANZ Bank, Myer, David Jones, Medibank and the Bureau of Meteorology, as well as the regional headquarters for Ericsson, Bendigo & Adelaide Bank and television networks Nine and Seven.
Known for its contemporary architecture, the suburb is home to a number of heritage buildings that have been retained for adaptive reuse, and is also the site of landmarks such as the Docklands Stadium, Southern Cross railway station and the Melbourne Star.

Midweek moves are the way to go. Tuesday to Thursday are the quietest days, making it easier to book a moving company or a gobox's container. Plus, traffic is lighter, which means less time on the road and lower costs. Fridays are the busiest, so unless you love stress and delays, avoid them if you can.
We deliver a portable storage unit directly to your Melbourne home or business. You can pack the unit at your own pace, then choose to keep it onsite or have it transported to our secure storage facility.
Yes. Many Melbourne customers keep their mobile storage unit onsite during renovations, moves, or decluttering projects for easy access to their belongings.
Yes, it is. Moving containers are a cost-effective option compared to hiring full-service movers. You pack at your own pace, store if needed, and only pay for what you use. The final cost depends on container size, distance, and extras like storage facility options.
A three-bedroom house usually needs two large moving containers, or one large and one medium gobox container. It depends on how much stuff you have. If you’re a minimalist, one big unit might do. If you’re a collector of “just in case” items, you might need extra space.
Not everything belongs in a storage facility. Food, flammable materials, toxic chemicals, and firearms are a no-go. No live animals or plants, either”your gobox's storage unit isn’t a greenhouse or a pet hotel. If it’s dangerous, perishable, or illegal, it shouldn’t be in there.
Our medium storage unit starts at $220.00 per calendar month to store at your place. In addition, there is a $115.00 delivery fee for deliveries within 40km of our warehouse. For an exact price, call gobox and get a detailed quote tailored to your moving and storage needs.
That is something you will need to check with your local council. However, mobile storage is permitted in most municipalities, although it's most likely you will need to arrange a permit prior to delivery of your gobox.
We offer portable storage units suitable for everything from small apartment moves through to larger household and business storage requirements. Our team can help recommend the right option for your needs.
I had the go box in my driveway for 6 months during a house renovation. Great idea storing my furniture on-site in a very secure, water proof container. They have a great system with a remote control diesel powered small vehicle to move into any position. They were able to position hard up to my garage door in the driveway with room to move on the side to access it too. It was very easy to call and pay my many extensions to my booking over the phone in minutes. I highly recommend their storage boxes which can also be stored at their secure premises if needed as well.
Amazing service and communication. Alex and the girls were so helpful and made everything so easy for us. Highly recommend them.
Very happy with my experience with Gobox. I would definitely recommend them to others and use them again for my next relocation. I was very impressed with their personal service and communication that ensured all went smoothly.
Experienced people delivering and retrieving the box. Arrived on time with notifications along the way. Everything arrived the way I packed it. Made one step of the selling and moving process a little easier. Highly recommend using this service.
Faultless service. Great communication. Box placed with thought. Tried their best to fit my schedule and requirements
