Special Levy Delivery Areas

4 min. readlast update: 07.31.2026

Some GoEXPRESS and Kmart Bundle Runs operate in areas that are more challenging to service due to traffic conditions, limited parking, and higher delivery complexity.

To recognise the additional time and effort required, these runs include a Special Levy, which is paid in addition to your normal run payment.

This article explains which runs attract a Special Levy and what to expect when accepting these runs.

The Eastern Sydney delivery area generally includes Sydney's eastern and south-eastern suburbs.

This area covers locations around the Eastern Suburbs, Inner East, and nearby coastal suburbs, extending from the harbour-side eastern suburbs through to the south-eastern beaches and surrounding commercial precincts.

These areas often involve:

  • Busy commercial districts
  • Apartment buildings
  • Limited parking
  • Heavy traffic throughout the day

The Lower North Shore delivery area generally includes suburbs such as:

  • Kirribilli
  • North Sydney
  • Lane Cove
  • Chatswood
  • Mosman
  • Northbridge

and surrounding residential and commercial areas.

These locations commonly require additional walking, careful parking selection, and navigating busy streets.


🚚 GoEXPRESS Melbourne

The following GoEXPRESS Melbourne Bundle Runs include a Special Levy:

  • CBD Run
  • Inner East / Northern Bayside Run

πŸ“ Inner East / Northern Bayside Delivery Area

This delivery area generally covers Melbourne's inner eastern suburbs and northern bayside region.

It includes suburbs surrounding the Melbourne CBD, extending through the inner east and towards the bayside area.

These locations typically feature:

  • High-density residential buildings
  • Busy commercial precincts
  • Limited parking
  • Congested traffic conditions

πŸ›οΈ Kmart Sydney

The following Kmart Sydney Bundle Run includes a Special Levy:

  • Inner West & Surrounding Areas Run

πŸ“ Inner West Delivery Area

The Inner West delivery area generally includes suburbs such as:

  • Balmain
  • Glebe
  • Newtown
  • Marrickville

and neighbouring inner-west suburbs.

These areas are known for:

  • Narrow streets
  • Limited parking
  • Apartment buildings
  • Busy shopping precincts
  • High delivery density

πŸ’° Why Is There a Special Levy?

These delivery areas are generally more challenging than standard suburban deliveries because they often involve:

  • πŸš— Limited or paid parking
  • 🚦 Heavy traffic congestion
  • 🏒 Apartment buildings and commercial premises
  • 🚢 Longer walking distances from available parking
  • 🚫 Higher likelihood of parking restrictions

The Special Levy recognises these additional operating challenges and is designed to provide fairer compensation for Runners completing these runs.


πŸ‘€ Who Should Apply?

We recommend these runs for Runners who:

  • Have experience delivering in busy metropolitan areas
  • Are familiar with local parking rules
  • Know where legal loading or parking options are available
  • Are confident navigating high-density commercial and residential locations

If you're new to these areas, you may wish to build experience on other Bundle Runs before applying.


πŸ“¦ Additional Delivery Areas

While these Bundle Runs are primarily designed for the Special Levy delivery areas, daily delivery volumes can vary.

If there are insufficient deliveries within the primary levy area, your run may also include deliveries in nearby suburbs or surrounding areas.

This is normal and expected.

βœ… The Special Levy will still be paid, even if part of your run extends outside the primary levy area.

This is because the levy is attached to the Bundle Run, not to individual delivery addresses.


βœ… Summary

Special Levy Bundle Runs are designed for delivery areas that typically require additional time and effort due to traffic, parking, and delivery complexity.

If you enjoy city deliveries and are familiar with these areas, these runs can provide excellent earning opportunities while recognising the extra challenges involved.
