Landsborough, 4550, sits where the flat country meets the foot of the Blackall Range, one of the coast’s original timber towns, and its streets mix century-old homes with newer family estates filling in around the edges. We pour driveways, slabs, patios and paths across Landsborough on one fixed written quote.
The ground shifts with the town: loam and clay that firm up hard in the dry and hold water where the range starts to rise. Preparation is quoted to what the dig exposes, drainage is planned rather than hoped for, and joints go where the clay’s seasonal movement will want to work.
The old streets bring character work: driveways serving timber homes on generous blocks, replaced with concrete driveways formed to levels the original builders never worried about, mostly in broom finished plain grey that suits the town’s unhurried look. The newer estates bring first-time pours, and with them the sample-board conversations that usually end in exposed aggregate for the frontage.
Blocks here are big enough to use, so the back-of-block work is constant: shed slabs for the workshop or the van, patio slabs for the evening view toward the range, and paths that keep the winter mud outside. Pairing pours on one visit prices the smaller job at the bottom of its range; the rates guide publishes the lot, and the build standard sets out the base, steel and thickness underneath.
Sunshine Coast Council crossovers in Landsborough
Within the Sunshine Coast Council area, the crossover, the section of driveway between your property boundary and the road, is built in the road reserve and follows council rules. A standard residential crossover does not need a permit. It is self assessed against the council’s crossover checklist and constructed to the council’s nominated standard drawings, in concrete, asphalt or bitumen; raised stamped patterns are not accepted, and clearances apply around stormwater pits, power poles and bus stops.
A crossover that does not meet every checklist item is non standard and needs formal written approval from the council before any work starts, through the council’s development or transport teams, with an application fee that the council sets each financial year. Replacing or widening a crossover in a way that changes its profile, surface, size or materials counts as construction and follows the same rules. Frontages on state controlled roads are handled by the state, not the council.
Homes in the Aura estate at Caloundra South sit in a Priority Development Area with their own approval arrangements, and both Aura and Harmony at Palmview carry developer design covenants for driveways, including finish restrictions. Check your release’s design guidelines; what applies to your block is confirmed before anything is booked.
