About concrete slabs in 3003
Slabs for sheds, garages, granny flats and extensions must be sized and reinforced for their load and often need engineering and council approval. Ground preparation, a moisture barrier and correct steel placement are what make a slab last. Confirm whether engineering and approval are included in the quote.
Comparing quotes in Melbourne City
Ask each concreter for the all-inclusive price and how soon they can attend 3003. Get it in writing, itemised into labour, materials and callout, and compare at least two before you commit. If the job is not urgent, say so; operators can often slot it into an existing Melbourne City run for less.

Quick answers
How much does a concrete driveway cost?+
Plain concrete driveways commonly run $65 to $90 per square metre, with exposed aggregate and decorative finishes closer to $100 to $150, so a standard driveway often lands between $4,000 and $12,000. Site access, excavation and reinforcement drive the price. Get the thickness and steel specified in the quote.
How thick should a concrete driveway be?+
A residential driveway is typically 100mm thick with reinforcement, and thicker where heavier vehicles are involved. Thickness, a compacted base and steel reinforcement are what stop a driveway cracking under load. Be wary of a cheap quote that skimps on base preparation or steel.
How long before I can use new concrete?+
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours, but wait about seven days before driving on a new driveway and around 28 days for it to reach full strength. Rushing vehicle traffic onto fresh concrete is a common cause of early cracking.
Do I need council approval for concreting?+
Paths and driveways on private land often do not need approval, but slabs for structures, work in easements, and changes to stormwater or crossovers can require council or water-authority approval. Ask your concreter to confirm before pouring, since removing non-compliant work is expensive.
