Plain broom-finished concrete ranges from $75 to $95 per m². Coloured concrete ranges from $85 to $120 per m². Exposed aggregate concrete ranges from $110 to $165 per m². Actual rates depend on site excavation, subgrade soil classification, pump accessibility, and steel reinforcement requirements. ### Q: Do I need council approval for a driveway crossover on the Gold Coast? Yes. Any concrete poured on council road reserve land between the property boundary and the road kerb requires a Vehicular Crossing (VXO) permit from the City of Gold Coast, adhering to standard engineering drawing numbers 05-02-001 to 05-02-005. ### Q: What concrete strength grade is used for Gold Coast driveways? Residential driveways are poured at a minimum of N25 (25 MPa) per AS 3727.1. In coastal marine zones (within 1km of the ocean such as Palm Beach, Surfers Paradise, or Coolangatta) or for properties housing heavy trade vehicles, caravans, and boats, N32 (32 MPa) concrete with SL82 steel mesh is recommended. ### Q: How long should I wait before driving on a new concrete driveway? Light pedestrian traffic is safe after 24 to 48 hours. Standard passenger vehicles can drive on the slab after 7 days (when concrete reaches ~70% design strength). Heavy vehicles, trade utes with trailers, boats, and caravans must wait 28 days for full structural hydration. --- ## Contact & Lead Dispatch - **Estimating & On-Site Consultation**: 0411 914 157 - **Email Inquiries**: support@goldcoastconcretersqld.com.au - **Online Quotes**: https://goldcoastconcretersqld.com.au/contact-us
