Planning a Concrete Driveway in Perth
The decisions that determine whether a driveway lasts decades are all made before any concrete is ordered. Thickness, base preparation, reinforcement and drainage are set on paper, not fixed later.
This is also where the council side sits. The driveway on your own property is generally your business. The crossover, the section that crosses the verge and meets the road, is controlled by your local council and needs approval and inspection. Requirements vary between councils across Perth, and a crossover built to the wrong spec can be knocked back and have to come out.
These guides cover what to settle before you commit, so you are comparing quotes on the same specification rather than on price alone.
