Concreters in Noble Park, 3174
Driveways, slabs, paths and patios for Noble Park homes, from the postwar weatherboards and brick veneers around Douglas Street to the townhouse rows filling in around the rebuilt station. Noble Park is level crossing removal territory, and the development that followed the sky rail has made it one of the busiest concreting suburbs in the municipality.
Ground conditions in Noble Park
Noble Park is flat, on the heavy grey clay that runs through the whole of Greater Dandenong. It holds water in winter, so the fall on every slab is set away from the house and a compacted base goes under everything.
The jobs Noble Park gives us
Original 1950s and 1960s homes bring the classic replacement work: a cracked single driveway out, a full width reinforced driveway in, usually with the side path done in the same pour. The townhouse and dual occupancy builds bring shared driveways, garage slabs and crossovers, where the City of Greater Dandenong’s permit and inspection process is part of the job. Alfresco slabs off the back of renovated homes round it out.
Finishes specified in Noble Park
Charcoal coloured concrete is the default on new townhouse driveways. On the established streets, exposed aggregate in mid grey stone suits the brick and weatherboard frontages, and broom finished plain concrete keeps side paths and shed slabs economical.
Concreting cost in Noble Park
Concrete driveways run $95 to $185 per m2 by finish, shed and garage slabs $110 to $150, paths $90 to $130 and patios and alfresco areas $100 to $180, supplied and laid. Removing the old concrete adds $35 per m2 including disposal, with exposed aggregate at the top of each range. Prices may vary with site conditions and variations; the written quote after a site measure is fixed. See the cost guide for worked examples and the specification for what is included.
City of Greater Dandenong permits
The City of Greater Dandenong requires a vehicle crossing permit before a crossover is built or widened. Since July 2022 applications go through the council’s online portal only, lodged with a site plan and the contractor’s public liability insurance, and the council inspects the work at set stages. Crossovers are built to the council’s standard drawings for the kerb type in the street, with a minimum width of 3 metres at the building line. A permit fee applies and fees change from time to time, so the current amount is confirmed at the quote. Where concreting forms part of a larger building or demolition project, the council’s asset protection permit scheme can also apply; most stand-alone residential concreting jobs sit outside its thresholds, and we confirm what your job needs in writing before anything is booked.
