Driveways in the South East
The south east is the busiest driveway region in Melbourne, from the established 1960s blocks of Glen Waverley and Mount Waverley through Clayton and down to Dandenong, Springvale and Keysborough. The mix of knock-down rebuilds, dual occupancy developments and original homes keeps every kind of driveway work in demand, from single side runs to shared driveways serving multiple units.
The region sits largely on reactive clay that swells in winter and shrinks in summer, which is the main reason original driveways poured straight onto the ground have cracked. It is also why quotes in this region should be compared on preparation rather than concrete thickness alone; the driveway thickness guide explains what actually matters.
Shared driveways on multi-unit sites are a regional specialty, usually specified thicker for the extra traffic, and several councils here pair the vehicle crossing permit with an asset protection permit. Current per square metre prices for every finish are in the cost guide.
